Te Ara Ako Whānau partnerships

by TGC

We warmly invite you to attend Te Ara Ako whānau partnerships. This is a great opportunity to connect with your daughter’s whānau teacher. It is important that your daughter attends with you and engages in this conversation. We look forward to meeting you all. As staff will be involved in conversations throughout the day, school will be closed for students.

Our Visions for 2021...

by TGC

As we work towards our 2021 collective vision of 'whanaungatanga' we aspire to make our kura a turangawaewae for all. We hear from each of our student leadership teams about how they intend on creating an empowering environment where every student feels like they belong. Kia Tu, Kia Whakatipu, Kia Manawanui. A place to stand, a place to grow, a place to belong.
