Tahuna values are interwoven throughout the classroom programmes and everyday school life. They are also a big part of our reward and acknowledgement system.

Students are rewarded by teachers for displaying aspects of our values throughout the week. Teachers have four blue cards each week that they can award to any student in the school who they feel is worthy of recognition.

Once students have collected the required number of blue cards for each level they are acknowledged in assembly and awarded with the corresponding values band.

Respect - 5 blue cards

Responsibility -10 blue cards

Creativity - 15 blue cards

Success - 20 blue cards

Band holders also receive preferential sports choices and do not have to line up in the canteen queue. They are also taken into account when choosing students for activities that are highly subscribed like Remuera, Skiing, Rafting etc...

Success bands also recieve extra rewards like a $5 canteen voucher and a special Principals Lunch at the end of the year.
