It is an honour and a privilege to serve as the Tumuaki/Principal of Mākoura College — a place where each and every student is known, supported, and encouraged to thrive. At Mākoura, we stand for more than just education.We stand for belonging, for excellence, and for the strength of our shared community.
We believe every student has the potential to succeed. Whether it’s in the classroom, through NCEA, or in pathways beyond school, we guide our ākonga to strive for their personal best — with the support and belief of teachers who care deeply about their success.
We set the bar high because our young people are capable of greatness. We expect respect, effort, and kindness — and we model those values in return. Every learner is challenged, encouraged, and empowered to grow.
From the courts to the fields, Mākoura athletes play with heart, pride, and passion. We nurture teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship — celebrating not just victory, but the journey it takes to get there.
Our kura is a place of rich cultural identity and celebration. Whether through kapa haka, Pacific performance, language weeks, or shared community events — our students are proud of who they are and where they come from. Culture lives and breathes here.
The relationships we build with our students are at the heart of what makes Mākoura special. Our teachers and support staff genuinely care — about learning, wellbeing, and every young person’s future. We’re a whānau.
Mākoura is not just a school — it’s a place to grow, to dream, and to become. Every student is valued for who they are, and supported to discover who they can be.
Guided by our core values of Tika, Pono, and Aroha, we are on a bold and compassionate journey of transformation — one that reflects our commitment to Kia Manawanui.
Choose the school where you matter and let’s be courageous and compassionate together.
