Tauranga Peninsula Kāhui Ako

The Tauranga Peninsula Kāhui Ako consists of 40 early learning centres and 15 schools in total: 

• 6 state contributing schools (Year 0-6)

• 5 full primary schools (Year 0-8)

• 1 intermediate (Year 7/8)

• 1 special school (Ages 5-21)

• 2 secondary schools (Years 9-13)

Our Kāhui Ako also works in collaboration with our 3 Tauranga Moana iwi: 

• Ngāti Ranginui

• Ngāi Te Rangi

• Ngāti Pūkenga

We aim to bring together our individual strengths as a collective to establish effective interventions, strategies and innovations for our ākonga from ECE through to their schooling years (Year 1 - 13) and beyond into tertiary education.

A major focus of our Kāhui Ako is to ensure our priority learners, such as Māori, Pasifika and students with additional learning needs are given opportunities to experience and achieve successful outcomes during their formal education.
