About us
Welcome to Taradale Primary School
We are a friendly kura with around 450 tamariki from Year 0 to Year 6. Guided by our 3 R’s – Respect, Responsibility and Relationships – we work together with whānau and our community to create a safe, caring place where learning and hauora thrive.
Our Way
At Taradale Primary School, Our Whakawhanaungatanga is also at the heart of how we learn and connect. It reflects the learning dispositions we believe are important to be the best learners we can be. Through kindness, perseverance, creativity and collaboration, our tamariki grow as confident and independent learners who are ready to thrive in life.
