As they begin their final year at Bayfield, year 6 students are ready to take on the leadership responsibilities across the school. Our knowledge-rich curriculum provides students with a clear and structured learning pathway across core areas, as well as science, technology, te reo Māori, the arts, health, and physical education. As students build their knowledge and move from novice learners to developing experts, they are increasingly ready to apply their learning through problem-solving and research-based projects. By years end they are ready to meet the challenge of intermediate school with so many happy memories of their years at Bayfield.

At Bayfield, a rich, knowledge-based curriculum is delivered through clear, explicit whole-class teaching. In 2026, this curriculum is guided by the English and the draft Social Sciences and Science curricula, ensuring coherent knowledge building across the school and rich learning for students.
One of the highlights year six is EOTC week spent at Shakespear lodge in Whangaparoa. Along with the wonderful outdoor challenges including climbing, orienteering, target shooting and swimming, students develop and practice valuable independence skills that a week away from home brings.
