Welcome to Pakuranga Heights School

I love being principal at Pakuranga Heights School. It is a very special place with a caring, friendly, nurturing environment where we have high expectations for learning and behaviour. Exciting programmes are developed and attractive classrooms are filled with happy faces and reflect learning taking place.

A talented team of teaching and support staff work to create the best possible teaching and learning environment for children.

We have a commitment to Pakuranga Heights being a safe place for all; a place where we encourage excellence, model and foster team relationships, and value parent partnership, sound effective governance, community involvement, innovation, creativity and fun.

We apply a strong action-learning and research skills base to our learning. As often as we can, we try to give the children real and relevant contexts for their learning, and this will often involve trips outside the classroom and the school.

Our BeeValued (BeeV) programme supports the learning environment and the way we care for each other. Our expectations for our children are high because we want them to be the best they can be. Our aim is to assist them to leave us well equipped for the life beyond our school and to look back on their years with us with warmth, appreciation and a sense that they have developed into confident, capable young people.

Pakuranga Heights is a place where children have positive enjoyable learning experiences, a place where we can celebrate learning and achievement.

Thank you for taking an interest in Pakuranga Heights School and welcome to our website!
