Our ValuesAt Wakari School we promote our values of Honesty, Manners, Respect, Cooperation & Kindness. As a Family orientated school we promote and encourage parental involvement. This assistance is vital for the children’s education during their time with us. School Camps, trips, swimming and School Fairs would simply not be possible without the assistance that Whanau offer. Our school has a proud tradition of community involvement stretching back to 1858! |

We have Three Syndicates across the School which operate in Learning Hubs. We aim to provide our pupils with the means to achieve their best in a caring, safe and secure environment. Wakari School benefits from a true team approach. |

Kia ora Wakari School whānau,
I’m writing on behalf of the Board of Trustees to provide an initial advisory regarding the playground upgrade currently underway.
During the early stages of the work, a small amount of asbestos-containing material was identified. We want to reassure you that we have already sought guidance from qualified contractors, WorkSafe, and the Ministry of Education. Based on the advice received so far, it is safe and we have cordoned off the area to avoid the asbestos being disrupted whilst plans are confirmed for its removal.
Clear signage and barriers will be in place, and staff will ensure students remain well away from these zones.
We will update you as more information becomes available and once a confirmed removal plan is in place. The safety of our tamariki and community remains our highest priority.
Ngā mihi nui,
Jason Sargeant
Presiding Member
