Vision & Values
Our Vision
Ancient Māori used the kōhia vine (NZ passionfruit) to carry flame from one village to another. Fire is power. Hence our vision statement "the power to dream, the passion to achieve".
Kohia is to gather. Our school whakatauki, Kohia te wānanga e tū ki te ao mārama, reflects the gathering of knowledge our students need to embrace in their eight years of learning at KTS, from a range of sources so they are equipped and able to be successful life long learners.
Kohia Kaitiaki (our values) are to...
Care and Respect
Persevere to Achieve
Lead with Integrity
