Te Āhuru Mōwai is a term used to describe the birthing waters of the placenta, a safe haven where baby grows; our young mothers are this for their babies and in turn our school is their safe haven. Together, we create an individual learning plan towards a pathway at NCEA Levels 1 to 3 – be it tertiary education, trades training or employment.

We have a strong social and non-academic programme that allows our students to develop themselves and their parenting, and to have experiences they may not otherwise have.
