We uphold and celebrate our Whakatōheatanga and connection to the land and sea through the use of whakapapa, waiata, pūrākau and mahi toi.
As a Green-Gold accredited Enviroschool, we proudly promote sustainable practices that reduce our environmental impact and enact our role as kaitiaki. We walk the talk by recycling, reducing our use of plastic materials, caring for our animals, growing and harvesting kai, and getting involved in riparian planting.
We believe all tamariki should have equitable access to quality early childhood education, so we offer extra support to ensure no tamariki miss out. Our Kai Ora initiative also ensures your tamariki are nourished with healthy kai and wai while here at kindergarten, at no cost.
When you enrol, we commit to a partnership with you that nurtures the interests and potential of your tamaiti, supported by qualified kaiako who know and understand them.
Give your tamariki the best start and connect with us today.
