Whitikahu prides itself on its positive school culture. This special culture is based on our “Whitikahu Way.” Our Whitikahu Way values drives all that we do. At the heart of these values is that every child at our school is known, and cared for. Everyone knows everyone, with children of all age group (from seniors to juniors) mixing together, and supporting each other.

We have an amazing group of dedicated and passionate teachers, teacher aides, and office staff. All working together to create an effective, nurturing, and fun learning environment.

We are extremely fortunate at Whitikahu School. We have an incredibly supportive and active B.o.T, P.T.A and school community. Who all serve to enhance our special Whitikahu Way.
