A unique blend of Modern Learning, Montessori & Te Reo Māori me ōna tikanga.
Nau mai, Haere mai (welcome)
What Makes us Different?
We are developing a unique educational approach, which weaves together the principles of Modern Learning, Montessori and Te Reo Māori me ōna tikanga (the language and the way of Māori). This comes to life through the evolution of our local curriculum, which connects to the natural resources on our doorstep, our history and the local community.
Our Learning Pathways
We have two mixed-age learning pathways, Pakiri and Montessori, under the school’s whakatuakī, Kotahi te Hikoi Whakamua (Forward Together). Both pathways offer small class sizes with excellent student to teacher ratios and highly individualised learning programmes. Our school runs from year one to eight.

We are immensely grateful to the volunteers who helped build the Kowhai classroom extension over the school holidays. We have had really encouraging feedback on the positive impact on learning from the staff and students in Kowhai class. We want to share with you the lovely card that was presented by Kowhai class to the board at our last meeting.
