We are delighted to welcome you to our piece of paradise we call Tawhero School. We LOVE our tamariki and they are at the center of everything we do. We ensure that they are happy, excited and engaged in their learning in order for them to reach their full potential in everything they choose to do.
We work together as a team to ensure that your child has every possible opportunity to be excited, engaged and inspired in their learning. We value the need to nurture their academic, physical, social, emotional and cultural well-being so that they thrive in this forever changing world.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our kura whanau, nau mai, haere mai ........
Kia ora tātou
It is with the greatest pleasure that I introduce myself as the principal of Tawhero School, a wonderful place that I love and have strong interest and investment in.
Tawhero School is a very loving and caring school that is moving towards learning in a future-focused innovative way. The school is currently undergoing extensive renovation where collaborative and modern spaces will provide enriching, engaging and empowering learning environments for our tamariki and their teachers. We are a well resourced school with highly effective and dedicated teachers, specialist teachers, the lastest in technology, good cultural and sporting facilities and opportunities.
We celebrate culture, physical activity, the arts and academic achievement in everything we do. At our school your child will be nurtured in a fun-loving environment where the well-being of your child will be at the forefront of everything we do.
We want to prepare our tamariki for their futures. Whatever that brings, we know we need to be highly skilled. In order to achieve this, we believe our core values of aroha (love, respect and care) whakapono (truth, belief and honesty) and tumanako (dreams, hope) will enable learners to not only be more successful in their schooling and career, but more importantly life ready and contribute to our forever changing society.
I am an experienced principal who is passionate about education and I began my journey at Tawhero School in April of 2019. Before that I have was principal at Te Kura o Te Wainui-ā-rua for seven years. I have been teaching for more than 20+ years and I am excited to extend my learning in a school that values and celebrates diversity, uniqueness and strives to engage, empower and enrich the lives of our learners.
I would be happy to meet with you, show you around and have the opportunity to share more about the school and answer any questions you may have.

It is expected that players will push passes with limited lifting of the ball to be allowed. It is up to each school if they want to have their goalie wear goalie gear. Not essential. Due to the expanded number of teams the turf will be set up in quarters as per the Year 5/6 competition held on Wednesday nights. A goal is scored when the ball crosses the line of the goal.
