We strive to be kind to each other, we respect that each one of us have our own stories to tell and we are proud of who we are. Most importantly we celebrate that we are all individuals who learn and grow differently. Each one of us adds value to our Takapuna Primary school village, with our culture, our history, our strengths and our talents. In our place, you will thrive.
Embedded in our belief and expressed in our whakatauki – Mā te pā ka taea te whakatipu te tamaiti – It takes a village to raise a child, we welcome you to our village, where we will achieve greatness together.
