Home // Our School
We are a semi rural school which is situated 43 Km from central Auckland and nestled warmly in the South Kaipara. We cater for students from Year 1 to 8. Our current roll is 222 students, 40% of our community identify as Māori, 45% identify as NZ European / Pakeha, 8% have Pacific heritage and the rest of our school include families from Asia, South Africa and beyond. The school is part of the Kāhui Ako o Kaipara Community of Learning. We love that our school’s community is becoming increasingly ethnically diverse.
As a kumara does not talk about it’s own sweetness, we decided to ask our children, staff and families what they love about our school: These are some of the messages shared:
