Our School Values


He Karoro inu tai Rere whakateka muri ake nei pumau akonga

Karoro students drink from the tide of knowledge and fly into the future as life-long learners

Responses to community surveys clearly identify that the community’s vision for their students is that they will leave Karoro School with a strong base in literacy and numeracy, with a love of learning, with the ability to accept challenges, with competence in using I.C.T. to support learning, with life skills, and with the knowledge, skills, confidence and commitment to become effective life-long learners who can live and work with others to participate and contribute in the rapidly changing world they will live in.

School values are actively addressed in programmes of work.
