Strive Together for Success
"Ki te kotahi te kaakaho ka whati
Ki te kaapuia e kore e whati"
When we stand alone we are vulnerable
When we stand together we are unbreakable
This whakatauki spoken by Naa Kiingi Taawhiao was gifted to our kura and is something that we try to live and breathe every day in the way that we do things.
Our community and people are what makes us unique and special, and we love working together for the benefit of our students.
