At Breens, we base everything we do around what is best for our students and their learning. The school vision is for everyone to do and be their BEST – Better Every Single Time.

The values of our school also reflect this motto and are based on the Breens Tree of Values.

The Totara is an important symbol for our school as, years ago, there was a forest of Totara trees in this area. The tree also symbolises the growth and development of our students in a nurturing and supportive environment.

The five whakatauki give us direction and guidance in our understanding of the five school values.

Breens’ students and staff are encouraged to incorporate the Breens values into their day. The values are central to everything we do in our school community.
