At Mākara Model School, we aim to develop the whole child, by catering to their social, emotional, physical as well as their academic needs.  The children learn, play, and grow together. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, with our classes regularly working together on a wide range of exciting learning activities throughout the term. We embrace the principles of Tuakana-Teina and Āko, fostering a culture where older students guide and support younger ones, creating a two-way exchange of knowledge and learning.

Our dedicated and passionate staff are committed to providing rich, meaningful learning experiences that leave lasting memories and nurture confident, capable young people.

With strong ties to our local community, our learning is authentic and enjoyable. We actively participate in community initiatives such as tree planting, waterway monitoring, beach clean-ups, pest control, and other projects that extend learning far beyond the classroom.

Situated just over the hill from Karori in Wellington, our school is a truly unique and special place that we are immensely proud of. We warmly welcome your enquiries about enrolment or visits to our school.

We look forward to meeting you.
