Providing a Platform for Change
for our Developing Taiohi of Valour
to be life and career ready

Expressions of interest are now open for 2026

Te Aratika High School is an innovative new charter school established by Te Aratika Group and approved by the New Zealand Government to deliver a distinctive, kaupapa Māori learning pathway.

Opening in 2026, the kura will be a co-educational composite school, beginning with Years 7–10 in 2026, and phasing in Years 11–13 in 2027. This school is in addition to our existing Te Aratika Academy boys’ only secondary school for year levels 9-13, also located in the Hawkes Bay.

Ōku Moemoeā | Our Vision

To create a positive platform for change that is globally recognised, firmly supports and encourages one person, one whānau, one community at a time to find their path and journey to success.

Our Mission

To empower taiohi Māori through education, supporting their aspirations with an individualised approach that helps them progress their goals throughout their time at TAHS and beyond. Our outcomes will not only be quantified through academic achievement, but also our taiohi’s ethics and character, developed through our Developing Tāngata of Valour (DToV) kaupapa.
