Our way

Whakawhanaungatanga at the heart

At Taradale Primary School, Our Whakawhanaungatanga is also at the heart of how we learn and connect. It reflects the learning dispositions we believe are important to be the best learners we can be. Through kindness, perseverance, creativity and collaboration, our tamariki grow as confident and independent learners who are ready to thrive in life.

Team Tahi Cross Country

Yesterday our Team Tahi tamariki (Years 0–2) headed over to the park for their Cross Country, and they were OUTSTANDING! They gave it their all, tried their very best and did it all with awesome attitudes. We were incredibly proud of every single one of them. And man… our youngest tamariki can run fast! 🏃
