We be lieve all our students succeed in many ways. Our students have a culture of giving everything a go and doing everything to the best of their abilit y. We meet the needs of today and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.< /p>

Whatever we set our minds to achieve – we do it together.

PRINCIPAL's W ELCOME

As principal it is a great pleasure to welcome you to Tiko kino School.

We are a small rural school in the heart of a small but proud community. Only two years ago we celebrated our 150th jubilee and i t was clear to see from everyone who attended\, the pride that young and o ld feel towards our school.

What I have noticed most in my four year s at Tikokino School is the close knit relationships that all students hav e with one another. Being a small school\, means that everyone knows every one and on any day of the week\, girls\, boys\, juniors and seniors can be seen mixing together in a range of classroom or playground activities.

As a whole\, our students achieve highly in all academic areas with 90 % of students meeting expectations. Our students who need extra support ar e a focus for all staff so we make sure that all students can reach their potential in all areas. Our school rules are based on RESPECT. Respect for others\, ourselves\, property and the environment. Recently we have worke d with our parents and wider community to develop a leavers profile which we want all our students to aspire to. This has lead us to develop a focus for all our learners which promotes the development of resilient motivate d learners who are preparing for their own life journey. At Tikokino Schoo l we want our students to be respectful\, determined\, proud and responsib le.

If you are interested in learning more about Tikokino School\, p lease come and visit us\, I would love to take you on a tour of the school so you can meet our friendly staff and students.
