Our Mission Statement

 

Hauraki ki Uta Hauraki ki Tai Hauraki Kōwhao Rau 

This kōrero is representative to the kaupapa of our kura. It describes Pare Hauraki (the rohe) in which our school proudly stands - Hauraki to the land Hauraki to the sea Hauraki of many kinships 

Te Pūtake ō tātou Kura - Our School Vision

 

Ko te ako. Ko te tupu ake.

Together we learn.  Together we grow.

How we will achieve this vision, forms the body of our Marau ā-Kura: School Curriculum. The kōrero from our Marau ā-Kura was designed after consulting with the whānau, local hapu, iwi, staff and board members.
