ABOUT US
"Ako tahi Tātou, Tipu tahi Tātou, Together we Learn, Together we Grow"
Taita Central School is a part open plan, contributing school located in a residential area of Taita, a suburb of Lower Hutt. The School population is representative of the range of different ethnicities in the local community.

At Taita Central School we are continually seeking to build an even stronger, united, teaching team. Our Staff are competent people who genuinely care for the children they teach. They show this by meeting the children’s needs and offering programmes and an environment where children’s learning and development in academic, physical, social and emotional areas are paramount. Teachers are always keeping in mind that our children need to be given skills to cope with the needs and stresses of an ever-changing world.
