Te Kura o Pāharakeke, Flaxmere Primary School, is located west of Hastings and has 450 children in Years 1 to 8. Over two thirds of the roll identify as Māori. Twenty three percent are of Pacific heritage and include Sāmoan, Cook Island Māori, Tongan, Kiribati, Tuvalu, as well as children from the Philippines, Nigeria, Korea, Australia and European children. 

Our TOA Matrix

"The school enjoys strong community support, responding appropriately to the cultural backgrounds of children through establishing respectful relationships, whanaungatanga, is given priority. The valued outcomes identified by the school are based on ‘tamariki being empowered and inspired to be their best, be well and become lifelong learners’. These are linked to clearly identified ‘TOA’ expectations for a ‘victorious child’: ‘Kia Toa - Be Your Best, Kia Ora - Be Well, Kia Ako - Be a Learner’. Desired outcomes are explicitly described in graduate profiles linked to each learning pathway."
