Our school is lucky to have a wide multicultural diversity. There is no single dominant cultural group which means that everyone gets the chance to celebrate and stand strong in their own cultural background as well as getting to learn about and experience the cultures of others. This enables our ākonga and their whānau to be proud of who they are and where they have come from, and to understand how similar we are across the multicultural melting pot that is Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland.
Our Year Levels are grouped into team with names that reflect their age and stage of development...

Students in the first two years at school can be guided by older students.
Pakeke means to mature or get older.
Students are on the stepping stones between Teina and Tuakana.
Tuakana means 'older sibling.
