Our Schools
Te Kāhui Ako o Hakatere is a community made up of 10 primary schools, one intermediate school and two secondary schools. The 10 primary sector schools contribute to the secondary schools. Two schools are state-integrated and four are in rural areas. Four of the primary schools are full primary schools (Year 0-8).
The distance between schools is not seen as disadvantageous and regular interaction is already a strong feature of the community. Many staff already share professional learning opportunities. Students participate in sporting, cultural and social activities together. Secondary school students work in primary schools as ambassadors and sports facilitators
