Our way

Whakawhanaungatanga at the heart

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.
