Title
Tawa College - Tawa, Wellington, NZ
Description
We are a co-educational state secondary school of approximately 1340 students, 80 teaching staff and 20 support staff. The students are drawn largely from the area of Tawa which itself has a broad socio-economic mix. In that sense it is a microcosm of New Zealand society. Tawa College was officially opened in July 1961 and has always maintained a close involvement with the life of the local community, particularly through music and sport.
With the support of our community we aim to provide a challenging, balanced education which strongly promotes achievement and preparation for life long learning through the development of students' intellectual abilities, personal maturity and social responsibility.
We will try to fulfil the wishes of parents and students in selecting courses, but reserve the right to limit or modify classes according to the ability and needs of the student and available staffing and facilities. Once a student's course has been settled, it may not be changed without the approval of the Principal.
