Story

Takapuna Grammar School is a state coeducational secondary school located in the suburb of Belmont on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand. Established in 1927, the school mainly serves the eponymous suburb of Takapuna and the entire Devonport Peninsula. A total of students from Years 9 to 13 (ages 12 to 18) attend the school as of.HistoryThe foundation stone of Takapuna Grammar was laid on 6 April 1926 with the school opening officially in 1927. Takapuna Grammar School was the first co-educational school under the auspices of the Auckland Grammar Schools’ Board, and established its own Board of Governors in 1955. The school retained the Auckland Grammar Lion and the motto "Per Angusta Ad Augusta" ("Through endeavour to greatness").In 2012, the school controversially attempted to ban sandals in an attempt to improve public perception of the school. The decision was abandoned, however, after a group of students led by Abraham Coombs protested against the decision. The school subsequently surveyed students, parents, and teachers. The results of the poll (89% in opposition to the contentious decision) led to reinstatement of sandals in 2013.In mid-2015 the school introduced a fortnightly vertical form class of around 15 students, where students were expected to engage with each other across year levels and help each other with their study. The move was controversial among students, however, as they saw it as leading to full-time vertical form classes and eventual abolition of horizontal forms. Sure enough, starting in 2017, the roles were reversed with vertical form classes doubling in size and becoming almost every morning, meanwhile horizontal forms became only a fortnightly occurrence.

Loved going to Takapuna Grammar. Had the best teachers, amazing coaches and awesome facilities.
Its a really nice school but languages shouldn't be compulsory like most schools in New Zealand because they are a waste of time for some students.
Ok like for realsises s no caps bruv like honestly legitametly kind angl honesty like ti rigth? i ema waht the actual like hell yeah?
I mean this school is alright but the earthquake proofing took 6 years to do and I saw rats running around last year. The teachers need to know the students and not treat them like all the same people.
All good, bit of a mish to get out of after school with traffic sometimes especially if a crash has happened
school bad but dis school not so bad
I WOULD GIVE IT A HALF STAR BUT IM DUMB, THIS SCHOOL IS RARTED, THEY GIVE YOU 5 ASSESSMENTS AT ONCE IT'S ACTUALLY RARTED, SOME OF THE ROOMS SMELL LIKE ACTUAL TRASH BUT THE TUCK SHOP IS PRETTY GOOD 2/10
I've only been here a few weeks and I already luv it!!!
I actually look forward to school every morning.
