Our vision is to inspire every student through meaningful opportunities that empower them to discover and grow their strengths and passions. We are committed to supporting our learners to become confident, positive, and contributing members of society.

We focus on our core MANA values:

Diligence: Achieve your personal best.

Integrity: Be honest and trustworthy.

Service: Help and be actively involved.

Respect: Be caring and considerate.

We offer a progressive approach to the curriculum with an emphasis on Literacy and Mathematics, alongside exciting opportunities in technology, performing arts, and outdoor education. We are also dedicated to giving practical effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, ensuring an inclusive environment where all ākonga feel a sense of belonging.

It is a huge privilege to lead such an amazing school. I hope you find our website interesting and helpful. If you would like to know more, please contact our friendly office staff.

Update: Swimming Championships & MANA Reward Day Postponed

Due to the rain forecast for tomorrow, we have made the proactive decision to postpone our Swimming Championships and Ahiahi MANA Reward Day.

As a result, tomorrow will be a normal school day with no mufti.

Both events have now been rescheduled for Friday 20 March. We’re looking forward to celebrating these events together then and hope for better weather!

Thank you for your understanding and support.
