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.
