Strathmore School, ki te kura tuatahi, is in Tokoroa, the heart of Aotearoa New Zealand and the sixteenth star of the Cook Islands.  At Taramoa Strathmore School, the number one important thing are your tamariki.  We are here for them!

​

Currently our school includes approximately 190 students and 18 staff.  We believe in the ability of each one of your tamariki to reach for the stars, and we support them to get to where they want to go through our drivers of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and our well-embedded 'REAL' values.  As part of these, we often ask you what you want to see in our kura ~ in your kura.

​

Our learning is a mixture of tradition and innovation.  We include exciting project-based learning that give our tamariki life skills and further supports our cornerstones of learning: Reading, Writing and Maths.  We bake, we paint, we draw, we tend gardens and like our seedlings we grow.  Our ākonga are well equipped with digital learning tools, with Chromebooks for  Year 4-6 students and iPads in our Junior classes.

​

Leadership is very much a part of everything that we do at Strathmore School. As our Mission says, we grow great leaders and outstanding citizens.  Leadership is fully embedded as part of our REAL values.  You will see so many of our young people as leaders, and we of course have a student leadership group, our kaiārahi, lead our Whānau Roopu ~ House Groups.

​

We look forward to seeing you soon.
