It is a privilege to be the Tumuaki/Principal of Taitā Central School. 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.

Our school has an open door policy, where we invite you to come and see our place in action anytime. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Pink Shirt Day – Friday 15 May
14 May 2026

Kia ora e te whānau,

This Friday, 15 May, we will be colouring our kura bright pink in support of Pink Shirt Day and our commitment to standing up against bullying.

Our newly appointed Pou Ārahi will be leading the day with a range of fun activities that promote kindness, inclusion, and unity across our school.

We encourage all ākonga to wear as much pink as they can to help us fill the school with positivity and support this important kaupapa.

As part of the celebrations, students are invited to enter the Design‑a‑T‑Shirt competition, with the chance to win a $200 Prezzie Card, generously provided by Jess Setu. This competition is across many schools, we will be doing our own within-school competition also.

We’re looking forward to a vibrant, uplifting day for our tamariki and community.

Ngā mihi nui, Dylan and The Pou Ārahi
