Ngā Pōtiki are the mana whenua of the land that Tahatai Coast School sits on. We have built a healthy relationship with Ngā Pōtiki and recognise Tahuwhakatiki and Mangatawa as the marae of the hau kainga.
‘Working alongside such a talented, hardworking, creative and innovative staff is an absolute privilege. They bring energy and passion to what they do so that tamariki feel connected, engaged and excited about life at TCS. This is every member of staff - what a team, they make me proud everyday.’ Matt Skilton - Tumuaki/Principal
Our lovely board members help keep Tahatai so awesome. They are a mixture of parents and staff, elected by our community as their representatives. They help with decision making and governance of our school. Board Elections took place in August 2022 for the 3 year cycle 2022-2025.
Our wonderful PTA is the driving force behind all the fundraising activities at Tahatai Coast School. Fundraising is essential to give our students access to the best resources, equipment, facilities, technology and opportunities.
We invite all whānau Māori to come along to hui throughout the year to discuss and advocate for Te Ao Māori within our kura.
It is a pleasure to have businesses in our Tahatai and wider community that support us to ensure greater outcomes and opportunities for not only our tamariki, but our whānau and community as a whole.
