The Resource Teachers: Literacy (RT: Lit) and are based at Whitiora School which is our host school. We work within a cluster of 47 schools within our Hamilton/Waikato area.

Tā mātou kaupapa – Our purpose - Our RT: Lit service aims to make a positive difference for students whose literacy difficulties are a barrier to educational success by providing schools access to specialists with expertise in literacy teaching and learning. To raise achievement and improve the wellbeing of students who require additional support within the areas of literacy ie. reading, writing, or oral language.

For us, the most important thing is the relationships we establish with the people with whom we interact

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata

It is the people, it is the people, it is the people
