Thriving Kura Rooted in Identity and Community

ERO found strong teaching and learning practices, confident and engaged students, and deeply committed leadership and whānau. The kura is still in its early stages of development, particularly around its wharekura (Years 9-13), and has clear areas identified for continued growth.
