our character
We are a co-educational state secondary school of around 1450 students, 100 teaching staff and 45 support staff. The students are drawn largely from the area of Tawa which itself has a broad socio-economic mix. In that sense it is a microcosm of New Zealand society. Tawa College was officially opened in July 1961 and has always maintained a close involvement with the life of the local community, particularly through music and sport.
our purpose
With the support of our community we aim to provide a challenging, balanced education which strongly promotes achievement and preparation for life long learning through the development of students' intellectual abilities, personal maturity and social responsibility.
our values
- Excellence and inclusive participation
- High academic standards and good vocational skills
- Music, other cultural and sporting experience
- Safety of students and staff
- High standards of behaviour and appearance
- Service to, care and support of others
- Partnership with parents and community
