Cultural
The culture of an educational organisation is the combination of the beliefs, perceptions, relationships, attitudes, and written and unwritten rules that shape and influence every aspect of how a school/kura or centre functions.
Culture also encompasses more concrete issues such as the physical and emotional safety of students, the orderliness of classrooms and public spaces, or the degree to which a school embraces and celebrates racial, ethnic, linguistic, or cultural diversity.
Influences that change or alter any aspect of this mix will likely have an impact on the overall culture of a school/kura or organisation.
