As a school, we recognise the importance of childhood. Our large, garden-like campus is a happy and safe environment where children have the freedom to enjoy being children - exploring and playing in the bush, riding bikes and scooters on wheel days, curling up with a good book in the Library, kicking a ball on the big field or just following their imagination. Exploration, Play and Inquiry are at the centre of how we learn.

Northern Zone Tarikākā Cluster
Our kura is part of the Northern Zone Tarikākā Cluster of schools. The 11 schools across our cluster form a cohesive geographical community stretching up the northern corridor of suburbs from Crofton Downs School through Ngaio, Khandallah, Johnsonville and Churton Park to Amesbury School.
Tēnei te mihi atu ki te mana whenua o Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Te Ātiawa me Taranaki Whānui, me Ngati Toa Rangatira - We acknowledge the mana whenua of this area. Our Kāhui is committed to the vision of a bicultural Aotearoa through education.
The schools involved in this journey are:
As a rōpū, we have continually asked ourselves the question: what is it that we can do better together than we can do on our own? The purpose of becoming a Kāhui Ako is so that we can be better together for our students, our communities, our teachers, for the wider education community and the wider community, in general.
We believe that working together opens up worlds of opportunities; in particular, it will enable expertise to be shared, learnings to be explored and for courage to be lent as we go on this potentially challenging journey together.
