Welcome to the Pakuranga College learning community.  We look forward to sharing an outstanding academic relationship with you that will be supportive and successful.

Pakuranga College is an exceptional school because there is a balance between demanding the highest academic and behavioural standards and expecting students, staff and parents to be accountable for their actions.  There is also emphasis on providing a caring and personal environment in which everyone is treated as an individual and accorded respect and dignity at all times.

Pakuranga College is a school of choice because it has successfully developed a balance of academic rigor, within a respectful and vibrant learning community. Our college provides a very special learning environment that develops outstanding citizens who are moral, respectful, and have a strong sense of self identity.  We encourage students to own their learning so that they can seize opportunities offered by new knowledge and technologies in the future.

To carry out this vision, a unique Learning Charter was designed to set out the partnerships, standards and expectations for students, teachers and parents.  This vision is based on a philosophy of learning called “co-construction” and is based on ‘best evidence’ research undertaken in New Zealand, and around the world.
