CUSP

Collaborative University School Partnership

Pukete School has been involved in the CUSP programme in collaboration with the University of Waikato since it's inception in 2019. The Collaborative University School Partnership (CUSP), allows students to form relationships with a particular school over a year making their learning more relevant. Students come into the same class each Tuesday throughout the year and then complete their teaching placement in the final term with the same class.

In 2023, we are lucky to have 4 CUSP students from the university in classes throughout the school. These University Teachers become an important part of our school life and we all enjoy the contribution that they make to our school community.
