Community Connections

The school enjoys high levels of community engagement and has a strong local curriculum. The principal and trustees seek, value and include the perspectives of the school’s community in planning and decision-making. Strengthening and extending partnerships with parents/whānau to support their children’s learning and progress has been identified as a priority.

We are proudly located in the Ngati Manuhiri rohe, and enjoy learning about the history of the area. Many of our present and former students are descendants of the Ngāti Manuhiri hapu. When invited we enjoy visits to Omaha Marae to learn about the history of our area and to have a chance to practice our Te Reo skills, in addition to our Kapa Haka whole school practices and weekly Te Reo sessions.
