Being the best we can be

 

We have completed our lockdown exercise and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for. Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions.
A notice will be going out to parents/caregivers tonight to provide some more information about our emergency lockdown procedures. I would like to personally thank you for your support while we conduct these practices.Kind regardsMarian Caulfield, Principal

Our People

He aha te mea nui o te ao.
He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, it is people, it is people.

We believe that people, and the strong relationships of trust that exist between them, are what makes a school and its students successful. Our school is supported by a variety of groups of people and we are proud to be part of such a thriving community. 

We turned 150 years old in 2020!
