Te Mātaiaho, the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum, enables students to realise their potential and to succeed in accordance with their values, and their whānau aspirations. The educational wero (challenge) for school leadership is to design a local curriculum that reflects a globally diverse community in a uniquely national Aotearoa identity. In some instances, only small enhancements will be required, but for many schools, the National Refresh will mean a strategic overhaul.
We love collaborating with schools to put together relevant and engaging curricula that meet the different needs of ākonga, whānau, and communities across New Zealand. By combining innovative co-designed methods, our education consultants can support your school or Kāhui Ako to weave together your community’s local knowledge, values, and vision with Te Mātaiaho to make a real difference to student wellbeing, progress, and achievement.
Professional support for Local Curriculum Design
A localised curriculum is your school’s personalised response to the national curriculum and the design and review process involves authentic consultation with all stakeholders and partners. We will support you to enact your vision, values and strategic goals while working alongside your leaders and teachers to implement a range of relevant, engaging and connected learning experiences.

“As a newly formed senior leadership team we identified that our school needed to review, refine and renew our school curriculum. Cognition Education supported and guided us through the PLD application process which was a huge time saver for me. We are now 1 year into our contract and have already established a new school Vision and Mission, and we are now developing our Graduate Profile.
Jenna navigated us through the staff, student and community consultation process by ensuring that we focused on being authentic and purposeful. There is a great feeling at the school at the moment as there is the true belief that we are on a mission. I would highly recommend the Local Curriculum PLD with Cognition.”
