Our kura sits in the heart of Taitā and by building strong relationships,working in partnership with our local community and offering purposeful, real-world, authentic learning experiences through our rich classroom teaching and learning programmes, delivered by experienced staff, we are able to equip our ākonga/students with the knowledge and skills to be the best they can be. Taitā Central School provides an inclusive environment where our tamariki have a strong sense of belonging and where we focus on their academic, cultural, physical, social and emotional needs.

Te Tiriti Commitment Letter
5 Dec 2025

Kia ora e te whānau,

As you are probably aware, recent changes to the Education and Training Act have removed the explicit requirement for School Boards to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This was discussed at our School Board meeting on Monday night and, as a result of that, we would like to share the following statement and attached letter with you.

We would like to reassure families and whānau that, while this legislative shift has occurred, our commitment to our Vision and school’s values remains unchanged. This includes a commitment and dedication to honouring Te Tiriti.

Our policies, practices and everyday actions will continue to reflect the principles of Te Tiriti as they always have.

 

Ngā mihi nui
