About us
We are a friendly kura with around 450 tamariki from Year 0 to Year 6. Guided by our 3 R's, Respect, Responsibility and Relationships, we work together with whānau and our community to create a safe, caring place where learning and hauora thrive.
Our way
At Taradale Primary School, our Whakawhanaungatanga is 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.
What's happening
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 attitude. We were incredibly proud of every single one of them.
