Principal's Welcome OLD

There is a vast array of ways to participate in and outside the classroom that develop a sense of belonging, foster collaboration and further advantage every student to develop a wide range of skills and qualities for success in today’s world. Teachers are students and students are teachers now and the positive relationships between them help make school even more enjoyable.

We are living in exciting times for education as we prepare our students to be the best they can be in their academic and all round development. We want each individual to thrive in our fast changing world where there is more knowledge than ever before in history, more global connectedness and a blurring of previously defined boundaries such as those associated with trading and socialising.

There are opportunities for a wide variety of talents to take advantage of this and make a significant positive contribution to our community and further afield.

The first wing of the Main Building renovation has been completed and the innovative teaching and learning spaces are open for use. We are very excited to experience and work in this new environment.

Last year Takapuna Grammar celebrated its 90th reunion. Thousands of former pupils enjoyed the occasion and we look forward to seeing many of you again soon. We value the traditions and history of this fine school alongside the array of contemporary learning opportunities. The mix of the school honours the past while embracing the ‘now’ and demonstrating that all our students are at the forefront of our decisions.

Nau mai haere mai ki te kura tuarua o Takapuna. Welcome to Takapuna Grammar.

He mihi tino mahana ki a koutou i tēnei wā. A warm greeting to you all at this time.
