An Observational Study of Catholic Education Within a Pacific Islander Communities School in Auckland

Abstract This observational study examines how the Treaty of Waitangi may impact school policy and its overarching political promise as implemented within a male Catholic secondary school in New Zealand. The study also explores the interaction and practices of how Samoan and Maori students, parents and communities are included in the organisation of curriculum and consultation between the school and parents on matters of policy and pedagogy. The data highlighted Maori and Samoan communities and the school teaching staff's perspectives and attitudes to the philosophy and partnership policies of the treaty. The views about the way the curriculum was taught and the influence of fa'alavelave on the academic performance levels of the Pacific students gives a glimpse of how this particular school implemented its philosophy and school policy to its mainly Pacific clientele.
