Purapura Whetu

He taonga te mokopuna, kia whāngaia, kia tipu, kia rea.

A child is a treasure, to be nurtured, to grow, to flourish.

Welcome to Purapura Whetū - our shining stars. Year 0 to Year 2.

Purapura Whetū is a collaborative learning space. Our approach in the first few years is focused on building strong emotional and academic foundations. We understand that children are 'ready' for learning at different ages and stages and therefore learning is not a race, it is a journey. We focus on our REACH values of respect, excellence, acceptance, creativity and honesty, while also incorporating the NSS backpack tools of resilience, questioning, mindfulness, reflection and curiosity.

This team consists of four dedicated teachers:

Room 19 - Mrs Phoebe Archibald
Room 20 - Mrs Sheryll McKinley
Room 21- Mrs Kaylene Bennett (Team Leader)
