Our read on Mākoura College
A School in Active Recovery With Promising Progress
Mākoura College is a school undergoing significant improvement, supported by a Commissioner and new principal since late 2023. ERO recognises meaningful progress in curriculum design, student wellbeing, and NCEA achievement, while being clear that literacy, numeracy, and attendance remain serious ongoing challenges. The school is moving in a positive direction but still has important work ahead.
