Principal's Welcome

Ko au ko Kerehana, Ko Kerehana ko au.

 

Kia Ora Koutou! Malo e Lelei! Malo lava le soifua maua ma le lagi e mama. Warm greetings to you all! I am Kelston, Kelston is me.

 

Here at Kerehana, we pride ourselves on being able to nurture the whole child – mind, body, and spirit. We offer a vibrant, culturally inclusive environment that utilises our Taumata system to challenge and support our students to become confident, lifelong learners that will stand proudly on their culture, language and heritage. We believe every child can thrive, and we'd love for yours to join our Kerehana whānau (family).

Nga mihi nui.
