What it means to be in Team Kereru

In Team Kereru, we endeavour to embody the values of the native bird known as the Kereru.

The Kereru shows flexibility in adapting its colours across various lighting conditions and in selecting food from up to 70 plant species. Team Kereru students also need to be flexible to cope with the many changes they face throughout the school day and in their daily lives beyond school.

The Kereru is noted for its persistence, collecting up to 60 twigs to build a single nest for its young. We know that Team Kereru students will also develop persistence and stick with a task even when it is challenging. With a positive attitude towards learning and a strong belief in themselves, students in Team Kereru can transition to senior students and move forward confidently to become capable learners within the school.
