BATHGATE Park School is a full primary school, Years 1-8, with both English Mainstream and Maori Medium learning settings, which cater to a range of diverse learning and cultural backgrounds. The school promotes the values of courage, integrity, respect, and perseverance, from which the concept of AROHA is created. The school has a strong arts programme, with dance, music, and visual arts specialist teachers, a positive education focus including mindfulness, circle time, and play is the way, and Tuakana/Teina relationships are very important. AROHA reflects the school’s belief in a love of learning, love of the place we are in, and caring for those around us, and out of this comes the school’s ethos.
