Tēnā koutou Parents and Whānau
A very warm welcome to Waiuku Primary School.
Every parent wants their child to learn in an environment where they feel safe, supported, and happy. At Waiuku Primary, this is at the centre of everything we do. Our staff are committed professionals who create a caring, engaging, and purposeful place for children to grow, learn, and thrive.
We set high expectations for our learners and encourage them to take an active role in their learning through rich, meaningful experiences. Our programmes are guided by our school vision:
Believe – Whakapono | Persevere – Manawanui | Achieve – Kia Tutuki
We believe we can achieve; we don’t give up.
These ideas are strengthened by our Core Values of Respect, Integrity, Resilience, and Independence, and by living The Waiuku Way:
- We Respect our School
- We are Kind and Caring
- We Focus on our Learning
We recognise that parents and whānau are a child’s first and most important teachers. A strong partnership between home and school is vital, and together we can create the best possible opportunities for your child to succeed.
Our team is passionate about lifting student achievement, building strong foundations for learning, and supporting children to become confident, well-rounded individuals. When your child moves on from Waiuku Primary, our aim is that they leave with the knowledge, skills, and personal qualities to flourish in our community, our country, and the wider world.
As Nelson Mandela reminds us, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
