Learning for Life Together
We welcome children from New Entrants to Year 6 to join our multicultural and supportive school community. Our learning community is a unique blend of individuals united by a sense of belonging. Our R.I.D.E. Values —Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Empathy—guide all our decisions and actions.
Our vision is to empower lifelong learners. By valuing diversity and fostering a strong sense of identity, we encourage our students to develop lifelong learning skills. Through a range of opportunities our ākonga are able to become their best selves—resilient, curious and empathetic. We teach them to see problems as solvable, to show manaakitanga (hospitality and kindness), and to develop a strong sense of kotahitanga (unity and togetherness).
Our whanau, kaiako and tamariki strive to make a positive, ongoing difference in our community.
