I went here from J1 to Form 2 about 1989-1994. Absolutely loved it. Such an amazing experience and wonderful teachers. I wasn't a farmer's kid but cherish to this day the memories of going to school and growing up in rural NZ but also not being very far from the city. It was the best all round balance of everything.
This school is literally shocking. Worst 3 years of my life, my sister was too smart so they didn't teach her and made her help teach. People here also terrible. The year 1 & 2 block is amazing though. Incredible teachers, the rest is just messed up and horrific. First and only time I will ever say just give up and quit. Extremely gratefully my parents pulled me out of there.
It's a great all round school my daughter went there and now my granddaughter is going
Tai Tapu School is a fabulous school with amazing teachers, students and families.
