Ngati Toa School

Welcome to Ngāti Toa School, a small primary school located in the beautiful coastal town of Titahi Bay, Porirua. Situated on Piko Street, our school is a point of interest and a cherished establishment within our community.

At Ngāti Toa School, we cater to students from years 1 to 6, providing them with a nurturing and inclusive educational environment. The majority of our students identify as Māori, and our school takes great pride in its close association with the local marae. We believe in incorporating tikanga Māori naturally into our daily routines and practices, ensuring a culturally rich learning experience for our students.

As a school, we operate as a whānau, a close-knit family, where everyone feels welcomed and valued. Our warm and inviting atmosphere creates a sense of belonging, making Ngāti Toa School an established part of the community. Many of our students are second-generation attendees, further emphasizing the strong connection we have with our families and the trust they place in our institution.

Ngāti Toa School embraces the values of Ako, Hauora, Iti Kahurangi, Kotahitanga, and Aroha. These values guide our teaching and learning practices, ensuring a holistic approach to education. Ako emphasizes the importance of reciprocal learning, where both students and teachers learn from each other. Hauora focuses on the well-being of our students, promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Iti Kahurangi encourages each student to strive for excellence and reach their full potential. Kotahitanga fosters unity and collaboration among our school community, and Aroha emphasizes the importance of love, respect, and empathy towards one another.

At Ngāti Toa School, we believe in providing a quality education that not only equips our students with academic skills but also nurtures their cultural identity and fosters their overall well-being. We invite you to join our school community and experience the warmth and inclusivity that makes Ngāti Toa School a truly special place.
