Our vision is one in which we see Waiuku College as a place of excellence. Other principles include a greater focus on learning theory, coherence and relevance to learning, inclusiveness, respect for our Treaty of Waitangi, a greater respect for diversity and the role of community as an important part of learning.

Waiuku College embraces the goal of producing 21st Century Lifelong Learners. It is an exciting time as we face the challenge of moving from the traditional blackboard and textbook teaching methods of the past, to a future where there is much greater emphasis on independent learning, self management and the acquisition of skills and attitudes.

The strategic goals of Waiuku College

• Experienced teaching staff who bring strong pedagogical knowledge and effective classroom management skills to the task of individualised learning.
