SCHOOL INFORMATION Since about 1997 with the rapid development of several new housing estates, and lifestyle blocks, the community and the school with it, began to change and grow. This growth was supported by the construction of a community centre and stadium in 1999, followed by a library, new supermarket with shopping complex during 2001 and a tavern during 2002. Today the school serves some 600+ pupils from a rapidly growing “town”. This growth has seen an enrolment scheme put in place to prevent overcrowding. The community spirit which marked the beginning of the school 113 years ago is still evident today with a strong PTA, an enthusiastic staff and dedicated Board. In all that we do we believe that one thing is paramount: the children. Ko te Tamaiti te Putake o te Kauppapa The Child – the Heart of the Matter |
