Our read on Kāpiti College
Culturally Grounded School Working to Lift Equity
Kāpiti College is a large co-educational secondary school in Paraparaumu with strong cultural foundations and established systems for tracking student progress. This report is a 'School Profile Report' — an early-stage document in an ongoing improvement process — meaning ERO and the school are actively collaborating rather than delivering a final verdict. The school has identified clear goals around literacy, numeracy, and equity for Māori, Pacific, and boys, and is working with ERO to measure progress.
