principal's welcome

Tēnā koutou e te whānau whānui o Mākoura.

Mālo ni, Fakaalofa lahi atu, Kia orana, Talofa lava, 

Mālō e leilei, Talofa, Noa’ia, Ni sa bula vinaka.

Tēnā koutou katoa and warm greetings to you all.


It is an honour and a privilege to be the Tumuaki/Principal of Mākoura College.  Our school is the heart and future of our community.


Building on our core values of growing tika, pono and aroha in our ākonga, we are on a transformational journey to genuinely provide the highest quality educational experience that embodies Kia Manawanui. This journey means we will be courageous in our endeavours and compassionate to each individual who chooses Mākoura to be their learning home.


I want to ensure we are the most deeply culturally connected, community driven kura, supporting each person to grow, dream and believe in themselves.


Kia Manawanui - Let’s be courageous and compassionate together.
