Two of the lead teachers have been facilitating meetings to develop a Koputaroa School Inquiry Model. The teaching staff feel empowered by the involvement they are having into developing a programme that changes the strategic direction of the school curriculum. Inquiry learning focuses on modelling processes and skills needed to be 'life-long learners', rather than concentrating on content-based topic learning.
The Koputaroa School Inquiry model is based on its school logo that has a 'Kereru' or wood pigeon on it. The six stages of inquiry are based on using the word Kereru as and acronym.
