Tairangi School Values

Feedback from consultation with our parents, including our Samoan, Tokelau, Cook Island and Maori communities; students, staff and parents have co-created the following 5 core values.  Our community is working through these to create a new or affirm our existing vision statement of Ake Runga, Our Best Always.  Our Values have been translated into the main languages of our community.
