We value our rural character, a safe and welcoming environment, strong connections between tamariki and staff, and a collaborative team culture. Our tamariki are at the heart of our decisions, and our staff bring a rich range of strengths, experience and passions to their work. We are proud of our sense of togetherness and want to keep growing as a school while holding on to the essence of what makes Kaipaki special. Our unique location is in a beautiful setting with mature trees and extensive grounds including a large court area, and playground.
