Our school values underpin our classroom practice:

Manaakitanga

The idea of caring about others, uplifting them, supporting them, making them feel at home. Enhancing the mana of others.

Rangatiratanga

The idea of weaving people together.  Being a role model and leader who enables others to recognise and grow their strengths.

Whāia te iti Kahurangi

Seek the treasure that you value most dearly, if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain.

To always strive to the next level and for something great. Aspiring to be better than I can imagine.

Kia Kaha Tonu

The idea of continuing to be strong, to get stuck in, to keep going when things are challenging.

Tikanga

Whaia te ara tika - follow the correct path

The idea of behaving in a way that is proper and appropriate, according to the culture and values in our place.

Our focus is on building firm foundations in literacy and numeracy. Ako Nui and Inquiry Learning provide opportunities to develop creativity, curiosity, scientific thinking and environmental learning.

We celebrate each child's progress and positive attitude to learning.
