Kia ora parents and whānau,

Happy New Year and welcome to the start of a new term. We hope everyone enjoyed a refreshing break and is feeling energised for the year ahead. We are delighted to welcome our new students and families to our community and look forward to building strong connections as we learn, grow, and thrive together.

We are very proud to share the outstanding results from our recent national accreditation. Our Primary, Lower Secondary, and Upper Secondary programmes all achieved an A rating, reflecting the strength of our teaching and learning across the school and also the effectiveness of our systems, protocols, and shared ways of working.

These results are a testament to the dedication, professionalism, and collaboration of our teachers and staff, strong governance, and the ongoing support of our students and wider school community. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this achievement — it is a collective success that we can all be proud of.
