Nau mai ki te kura o Coastal Taranaki School

Welcome to Coastal Taranaki School 

Nau mai, haere mai

Coastal Taranaki School, is a nurturing educational community known for its dedicated and inclusive environment. Grounded in our core values—Ako, Manaakitanga, and Whanaungatanga—we foster a culture of learning, respect, and strong relationships.

Embracing and blending teacher-guided instruction with student-led exploration. We focus on understanding and supporting children's unique developmental needs, strengths, and learning styles, ensuring they receive age-appropriate and culturally responsive instruction, ensuring every student receives a personalised and enriching educational experience.

The team at CTS is characterised by passionate, skilled and enthusiastic relational educators who are committed to ensuring that our young people participate in the learning and develop personally as well as academically.

As our young people move through the school, they are encouraged to discover, listen, question and challenge themselves, to grow self-motivation, critical thinking and resilience. It is during this process that our tamariki develop strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Students are encouraged to achieve more than they thought possible.

Success is celebrated and our young people are encouraged to thrive as confident, curious, connected, enthusiastic learners and forward thinkers, prepared for their tomorrows.

As active participants in the Taranaki Cluster (Community of Learning), we collaborate closely to enhance educational outcomes and student well-being. At Coastal Taranaki School, learning is engaging, meaningful, and supportive—empowering students to excel academically and personally.

Join us at Te Kura o Coastal Taranaki School, where learning journeys are celebrated, and every student is encouraged to thrive and succeed.
