Welcome to Whau Valley School. 

Tēna koutou katoa

A warm welcome to our school community. We are a vibrant learning space where every student is encouraged to embrace their unique identity and grow with confidence. 

At the heart of everything we do is our school vision: Kia Ako Tahi, Kia Tupu Tahi - Learning as One, Growing together as One.
This reminds us that we are all on a journey, whether it's in the classroom, on the playground, or within our wider whānau, we achieve our best when we support one another and move forward as one. 

To live out our school vision, we follow four core values that guide our tamariki in their daily lives. 
Be Prepared | Kia Takatū: We come ready to learn, with a positive mindset and the tools we need to suceed.
Be Respectful | Kia Makoha: We treat ourselves, others and our environment with manaakitanga and care.
Be Safe | Kia Haumaru: We make choices that keep our bodies and minds safe, ensuring out school is a happy place for everyone.
Be Responsible | Kia Haepapa: We take ownership of our learning and our actions, showing integrity in everything we do.
These values help us create a learning environment where everyone can thrive.

Our doors are always open, so please feel free to drop in, meet our team and experience firsthand the vibrant spirit that makes our kura so special.
