A word from the Principal

Aroha Hohepa

Thorndon School is a multicultural inner city kura bursting with creativity and individuality. We believe encouraging and growing our mokopuna in their own mana lays the platform for each student to reach personal excellence.

 

Our team engages in positive and respectful relationships with mokopuna, whānau, colleagues and the wider community. We value growing in our own knowledge as educational specialists, utilising research informed practices to deliver quality education.

 

Thorndon is committed to being a true Te Tiriti o Waitangi informed kura. As we sit on Te Pā o Pipitea, a significant historical site, we are growing in our knowledge and understanding of our local history to uphold this commitment.

 

Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kura o Pipitea.

Mēnā he pātai whānui ōu mō te kura, tēnā whakapā atu ki ngā kaimahi whakahaere. 

Mena kei a koe tetahi patai, tena koa toro atu ki te tangata e tika ana kei raro nei.

Mo nga take e pa ana ki te akomanga, ko to waea tuatahi ko te kaiako tiaki whangai a to tamaiti. Mena kei te pirangi koe ki te hui me te matapaki i tetahi mea me nga kaimahi whakaako, ko te imeera he huarahi whai hua ki te tuhi wa.

Ko te whai a nga kaiako tiaki minita ki te whakautu i nga imeera i roto i nga haora 48, na mena he tono ohorere, he awangawanga ranei koe, waea atu ki te tari.
