School Improving But Key Challenges Remain

However, ERO has identified significant gaps in achievement for Māori students and boys, ongoing attendance concerns, and inconsistencies in teaching quality that need to be addressed. The school has a clear improvement plan in place and is working with external support to lift outcomes for all students.
