Kotahi te koohao o te ngiira e kuhuna ai te miro maa, te miro pango, me te miro whero. Through the eye of the needle pass the white thread, the black thread, and the red thread. Our Pukekohe High School community values Ako in everything we do. We demonstrate Ako through living the values of: Aarahitanga Puumautanga Kotahitanga Manaakitanga • Pride • Commitment • Community • Respect • Honour • Perserverance • Whanaungatanga / • Responsibility relationships • Leadership • Resilience • Kindness • Working together These values shape our interactions with one-another and the various spaces in which we learn, play and grow together.

Curriculum Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro, noona te ngaahere. Ko te manu e kai ana i te maatauranga, noona te ao. The bird that partakes of the miro berry reigns in the forest. The bird that partakes in the power of knowledge has access to the world. We are proud to be able to offer students a broad curriculum. Our learning areas review content annually to make sure what we offer remains relevant to students and builds meaningful pathways beyond their school journey. Learning Area
