Learn more about Central Normal School
Our vision at Central Normal School/Te Kura Tuatahi o Papaioea is Whaia Kia Tutuki - Strive to Your Potential. For us, this captures the mindset we want our tamariki and staff to model and demonstrate - to strive to do your best with your learning, teaching, behaviour, sports and cultural participation.
Values are deeply held beliefs about what is important and desirable. Our values are encouraged, modelled and explored on a daily basis and feature strongly in all our programmes and conversations.
