Nurturing the mana and education of all
Central to our collaboration is commitment to enriching the learning journeys of all our ākonga, from ECE to secondary school and beyond.
To do this, all staff throughout our Kāhui Ako will work effectively together to ensure ākonga are at the centre of all we do, and that they experience a sense of belonging in their kura throughout Kāpiti.
Our Northern Kāpiti Kāhui Ako includes five schools and two Early Childhood Education (ECE) centres:
four full primary schools for Years 1-8;
one secondary school for Years 9-13
two ECE
Ngahina Kindergarten
Waikanae Kindergarten
Together we draw ākonga from Paraparaumu Beach, central Paraparaumu, and Waikanae.
We welcome the involvement of other schools, ECE and tertiary providers in our Kāhui Ako.
We are working with the Ministry of Education to connect with those local ECE centers who have
completed Expressions of Interest in joining us, and we intend to work through this process so that
they have representation as part of the journey.
