Ōmokoroa’s new primary and secondary school

The journey to develop two new schools within the Ōmokoroa Peninsula is underway. Warren and Mahoney Architects have been appointed by the Ministry of Education to prepare a master plan for the new Primary and Secondary School on the corner of Ōmokoroa and Prole Road.

Warren and Mahoney’s team of education sector specialists understand the important relationship between curriculum, community and building design. We recognise that it is no longer enough to consider educational buildings as just spaces for learning, they need to be diverse, interactive environments which inspire, educate and cultivate a strong sense of community and inclusivity.

To achieve spaces that support kotahitanga, are welcoming, connected and centre around quality learning outcomes, it is so important that we hear from you, the community.

The community engagement principle emphasises that the curriculum and learning environment should have meaning for students, connect with their wider lives, and engage the support of their families, whānau and communities. We would love you - the community, students, parents and whānau to attend an informal session so our project team can gain a greater understanding of what’s important to you. What makes your community unique? What values would you like to see reflected in your local schools?

Warren and Mahoney in conjunction with the Ministry of Education invite you to our informal drop-in engagement session on Saturday 7th May, 10.30am to 1.30pm, Ōmokoroa Library ground floor meeting space, 28 Western Avenue.
