WAt Whitiora School, our localised curriculum is centred on hauora - wellbeing and strength-based learning. We celebrate the identity, diversity, and community of our tamariki, weaving in local stories and acknowledging every success. Our aim is to foster a vibrant learning environment where each child feels valued and empowered to thrive.

We're committed to the holistic wellbeing of our students, supported by Te Puumanawa o Whitiora – The Pulsating Heartbeat of Whitiora – our dedicated pastoral care team. This team includes a full-time guidance counsellor, social worker, Learning Support Coordinator (LSC), and senior leadership. Our foundational values of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, and whanaungatanga guide everything we do, ensuring a nurturing and connected school experience for all.
