Our read on Mairehau High School
Inclusive Culture, But Achievement and Attendance Need Urgent Attention
ERO found Mairehau High School has a genuinely inclusive and strengths-based culture, with teachers who know their students well. However, the school is facing significant challenges with student attendance, variable achievement outcomes, and gaps in consistent teaching practice that need to be addressed as a matter of priority. The Ministry of Education has been asked to provide tailored support to the school's board.
