Te Kāpehu Riccarton School - To Seek, To Learn, To Flourish Together

Our school is a full primary (Years 1–8) family-orientated school. Our children are valued for their differences and individuality. Te Kāpehu Riccarton School is a school where learners are supported to become Te Kāpehu All-Stars.

We are shaped by our values, being;

Mana - Be proud of yourself, Be proud of your culture, Be proud of your identity

Manaaki - To care for others, To make a real difference, To be kind

Manawaroa - To show heart, To show grit, To never give up

Manawa Ora - To enjoy life to the fullest, To have fun and be grateful, To seek out opportunities and enjoy learning

We are proud, caring and confident - life-long learners, teachers and whanau, who make the most of every day.

At Te Kāpehu Riccarton School, we offer a wide range of sports, outdoor education and arts opportunities. We are committed to providing the very best resources we can to ensure a quality learning environment. We want our learners to be strong in their knowledge of the bicultural nature of New Zealand including a knowledge and understanding of Tikanga, Taha and Te Reo Māori

We believe your child’s education is a partnership between the parents/caregivers, the school and the child. Good communication between all three will help the level of success. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to be involved in school activities, as well as supporting and encouraging your child in activities in which s/he is involved.
