About

Welcome to our Community

We are two Kāhui Ako working together with a shared achievement challenge. The South Taranaki – Hāwera Kāhui Ako is made up of 13 schools and the South Taranaki – Pātea Kāhui Ako is made up of five schools.

Our schools are located from as far south as Waverley, through Hāwera and Normanby to the coastal areas of Manaia and Opunake. Our Kāhui Ako consists of a range of ECE, primary, intermediate, special character and high schools.
