Our read on Tangaroa College
School Making Progress But Significant Improvements Still Needed
Tangaroa College has shown genuine improvements in whānau engagement and attendance tracking since its 2023 review, and the school offers a rich range of pathways including Health Science, Services and Trades academies. However, ERO has identified serious concerns about student achievement, safety systems, and teaching consistency — serious enough that ERO has recommended the Ministry of Education consider formal intervention under the Education and Training Act 2020.
