The Fruitvale School Board affirms its deep commitment to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi across every aspect of our school’s direction and daily life. As a proudly multicultural kura in the heart of New Lynn, we recognise Te Tiriti as a living, guiding document that shapes our relationships, informs our decision-making, and strengthens our educational priorities.

This commitment is reflected in how we foster a learning environment where te ao Māori is visible and valued, and where every ākonga, across all cultures, feels respected, supported, and empowered to succeed. Our Korowai of Values, Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Reflection and Risk Taking, continue to inspire resilience, creativity, care, and strong community connections throughout our school. We are dedicated to ensuring that all cultures are celebrated and that Te Tiriti principles are woven meaningfully through everyday practice.

As a Board, we also acknowledge the unwavering dedication of our teachers and support staff, whose work nurtures our tamariki and strengthens partnerships with whānau. We will continue to review and refine our policies, practices, and curriculum so they reflect both the intent and the spirit of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Working collaboratively with our community and the Ministry of Education, we remain committed to developing a school environment that reflects the richness of Aotearoa New Zealand’s identity and enables every learner to flourish.

To our wider community and whānau, thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Together, we are shaping a school where all learners can experience success and take pride in who they are.
