- The school is working towards achieving equitable outcomes with improving levels of achievement in reading, writing and maths over time
- Māori students overall do not achieve as well as their Pākehā peers; however, significant improvement shown for Māori learners who remain at school for more than two years
- Significant disparity of achievement for Tongan and Samoan learners compared to other students is evident, though disparity has reduced in reading and mathematics
- Effective acceleration strategies are closing disparity in reading for Māori and Pacific learners, and in writing for Pacific learners
- School processes and practices effectively promote student wellbeing and engagement, with leaders and teachers knowing their students well
"Māori students overall do not achieve as well as their Pākehā peers. This disparity of achievement between these two groups is significant."
