Welcome to the Senior Syndicate. Our intermediate years at Greytown School are full of exciting moments both in and out of class. They really are two years of action-pact learning!
We have four Year 7 and 8 classrooms in our learning family who work collaboratively.
Our Kauri Syndicate Team 2023 is
- Miss Yolandi Verwey (Team Leader) in Verwey

Our Senior Syndicate programme includes
- A big focus on learner agency and developing a solid foundation of learner habits that will set children up for life-long success eg: Growth Mindsets, Collaboration skills, Time Management, Critical and Creative Thinking etc….
- Opportunities to deepen our learning through individual and collaborative Passion Projects based on our Inquiry Model (IDEAS – Ignite, Dig Deep, Explore, Action, Share and Reflect) and Design-Based Learning Philosophy.
- An extensive EOTC programme eg: Caving, Mountain Biking, Rafting, Off Track Navigation Skills, Abseiling, Search and Rescue Scenario at Mount Holdsworth…just to name a few.
- A mixture of traditional “book” learning and digital learning with each child having access to their Google Classrooms and a multitude of apps for learning on a 1-1 Macbook Air and class iPads.
- We have a wide range of leadership opportunities and training eg: Head Boy/Girl, Deputy Head Boy/Girl, Peer Mediation, Black Hats, Young Leaders Conference, Librarians, House Captains (Sports, Cultural and Curriculum)…just to name a few.
