Valuing Our Heritage | Takapuna Grammar School

Takapuna Grammar School is one of the oldest secondary schools on Auckland’s North Shore. It stands proudly on a beautiful site overlooking the Hauraki Gulf with buildings that both honour the heritage and are innovative learning environments.

The school attains excellent academic results year after year and is represented regionally, nationally and internationally in a wide range of pursuits. These include sport, music, drama, business, science and technology. Many alumni excel in their fields of endeavour which cover a huge range of disciplines and community services.

The school is a hub for the local community with almost all the students from contributing schools attending Takapuna Grammar School. The school is well served by parents and alumni who offer their services and support for roles on the Board of Trustees, Parent Teacher Association and coaching or managing school activities. The local schools have formed a Community of Learning to promote a seamless pathway of education from early childhood to tertiary level. The principals, staff and students work together ensuring that families feel welcome, students are engaged and learning is personalised and purposeful.

There are strong international relationships and opportunities for global experiences. Overseas tours are organised for various subjects and areas of interest and our international students add an interesting dimension.
