Welcome to Fairhaven School

Tēnā koutou katoa. Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kura ō Fairhaven.

It is an honour that I introduce myself as your new Tumuaki. Te Kahu Amohia – Fairhaven Specialist School community is a place I already know to be warm, friendly, and fundamentally dedicated to celebrating the individual progress of every student.

Our core identity remains strong: we are a school built on genuine partnership with whānau and families. We continue to be guided by the belief that when we walk alongside our community, we actively enhance our learners’ development and overall wellbeing. This collaborative spirit drives our vision: “Through whānau and families, staff and students working together, we know we can learn, achieve, and succeed as individuals and as a community.”

Our fantastic staff are committed to providing a personalised and engaging New Zealand Curriculum. We focus on drawing out the unique strengths, interests, and experiences of every learner, ensuring that their time at school is both meaningful and, crucially, fun. We uphold school values that foster a safe and inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to achieve their personal best.

Leading this committed, innovative team is truly a privilege, and our students never fail to inspire me. I am dedicated to maintaining and growing the tradition of providing the very best opportunities for all at Te Kahu Amohia – Fairhaven School.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to connect.
