OUR JOURNEY
Our school is bordered by the Te Takanga-i-o-Apa river, which connects and flows into Te Awa-o-te Atua at Matata then out to sea. This reminds us that the learning pathway our students are on at Tarawera High School is part of a larger journey that continues through life.
With the wisdom of our elders, the guidance of our teachers and the energy of our rangatahi, we travel the path towards an exciting future.
At Tarawera High School we are one family, with shared values and a common whakapapa.
The stories of our ancestors and their wise whakatauki (proverbs) inspire us to this day, with lessons as powerful now as when they were first spoken.
Our caring staff and supportive school whanau help guide our rangatahi along their pathway.
We have introduced Vocational Pathways, with stronger links to career and study options to help our students prepare for their future after school.
