(Public-Private-Partnership)

One of the unique aspects about our school is that we are a Public Private Partnership school (only one of four primary schools in NZ!)

This means that a private company has built an amazing high quality school with incredible facilities and resources and is also responsible for maintaining it. This frees Tony and the board of trustees from the burden of property maintenance and allows us to focus our time and energy on teaching and learning.

Everything else about our school is like a normal public school (hence the public-private partnership) e.g. curriculum, finance, governance, staffing etc. The private sector has no involvement in these areas at all.
