In summary
ERO's 2024 review found students show strong whānau connections and pride in their cultural identity, with most Years 1–8 students achieving well in mathematics. However, reading and writing progress are areas of concern, and only half of Years 9–10 students are achieving well in te reo Māori, which is impacting overall academic achievement. The school nurtures student individuality within an inclusive whānau environment and maintains strong peer mentoring relationships.
