Do Justly
Tomo mai kai ako, wehe atu kia mahi
Enter to learn, depart to serve
Tawa College’s guiding philosophy is a commitment to “Doing Justly”. Students enter to learn the skills, capabilities and knowledge that will enable them to depart to serve their local, national and global communities.

Our purpose
Our aim is for Tawa College to be a school where all students have access to meaningful learning experiences that help shape and form their ability to critically engage with, and understand, their world. Tawa College is a school that ultimately deals with people and their potential. We believe we should be advocates for students as well as agents of change and development.
