ERO Report 2026

Date: 13 May 2026

This report reflects the incredible dedication of our staff, students, and whānau in creating a learning environment where our young people can truly soar. The evaluation highlights the high levels of success and wellbeing our students experience, noting that "most students in Years 7 to 10 achieve at or above expected curriculum levels in reading, writing and mathematics" - an achievement category achieved by only 2 other state intermediate and secondary schools in Hamilton. ERO also commended our teaching staff, stating that "students benefit from high quality teaching practices and a rich and varied curriculum".
