Our People

All of our passionate and caring whaanau teachers play a vital role in our learners' journey. They are the classroom teacher for a group of learners, providing support in various aspects including whaanau contact, learner assessments and well-being. In our learning spaces, learners may also have the opportunity to be taught by different whaanau teachers based on their National Curriculum Level or the specific type of learning they are engaged in, making sure learners are being explicitly taught to their learning gaps. We invite you to meet our fantastic whaanau teachers and learn more about their commitment to our learners' success.

We are really lucky to have such talented, caring teachers who make a difference every day.

Establishment Board of Trustees

The Establishment Board of Trustees (E BoT) was appointed by Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Education, Wellington late in 2018. (Reference to  Section 98 (1) of the Education Act 1989.) Our first meeting took place in late March 2019. We are a group of experienced trustees having worked in schools and or on boards for a number of years. The development of a new school in Belmont, Pukekohe is an exciting time for the community.
