Our dedicated staff members provide a rich and creative classroom teaching and learning program. They genuinely care for the children they teach and tailor their approach to meet the individual needs of each student. We support our students' academic, cultural, physical, social, and emotional development, ensuring their overall success.

At Taita Central School, we understand that success goes beyond academics. We aim to nurture our students' cultural, physical, and social growth as well. We prepare them for the ever-changing future by empowering them with the necessary skills, attitudes, and values to navigate the challenges of the world.

Guided by our POWER values - Perseverance, Outstanding Excellence, Whakawhanaungatanga (building relationships), Empathy, and Respect - we create a positive and inclusive school culture. We encourage our students to embrace challenges, strive for excellence, and come together as a united community.

In addition to our academic focus, we also prioritize the safety and happiness of our students. We want Taita Central School to be a place where children feel secure, engaged, curious, excited, and eager to learn.

We take pride in our achievements, including being recognized as 2022 Massey University Wānanga Nohinohi Te Kunenga/Children's University Graduates. We also organize events like the Whanau Fun Night in February, which promotes community building and Whakawhanaungatanga.

To ensure continuous improvement, we periodically review our school policies. We utilize Schooldocs, a platform that allows our school community to participate in these reviews. Access the Schooldocs website to stay updated and contribute to the enhancement of our school policies.
