Our School Values

He Karoro inu tai, he karoro matawhānui

A Karoro student that drinks from the tides of our community knowledge will become a person that emerges with a broad vison of the world.

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.
