Our School Vision!

We are delighted to share our school vision which aligns with our values and new tohu. This is another piece in a process of reviewing our school identity which has been going on for the last 18 months. You can read more about it here.

Haere mai ki a koutou katoa – a warm welcome to Arahoe School.

We are a vibrant and dynamic multicultural school in New Lynn, West Auckland. We like to give our ākonga/students every opportunity to explore, grow and succeed in all areas – not just the core curriculum areas of literacy and maths. We are passionate about science, history, technology and the arts as well as physical pursuits, and our students are given a wonderful variety of contexts in which to find out how to be the best version of themselves. Diversity is welcome here and every student's uniqueness is valued, nurtured and celebrated.

I am lucky enough to work with a team of outstanding educators and support staff, backed by a talented and dedicated School Board.

I look forward to seeing your child, you, and your whānau around our school over your time here.

Ngā mihi nui / warm regards

Louis Heap
