We are a moderate sized primary school of 400 students. We strive to have a close "family feeling" within the school. We want our students to feel secure and happy at school and our parents to quickly become part of the school community, feeling as much at home here as the children do.

We are grateful for the excellent support we get from our parents/caregivers and the wider community, helping children in classrooms, preparing school lunches, carrying out fundraising activities, coaching and managing sports teams, and helping with grounds and resource maintenance.

We look forward to joining with you in an enjoyable and rewarding partnership. 

Our motto: "Kia Kaha - Stand Tall".

Our belief is that children learn best when:
• they are taught by enthusiastic, positive staff;
• they experience both challenge and success in their learning;
• their individual talents are recognised and supported;
• they can contribute to what and how they learn;
• their effort and achievement is valued and shared with others, (students, staff, parents, etc.);
• they receive specific feedback on their learning with a view to setting their next goals;
• they respect and care for themselves, for others, and for their environment.
