Parua Bay School’s 4 Whanau groups (house groups) lie at the core of who the students are at our school. Identity is a key element that we are striving to develop for all students. The 4 whanau groups are:
Pakikaikutu
Taika
Manaia
Motukiore
Each whanau represents a key landmark within our community and each tells an incredible story of the past. There are various events and achievements throughout the school year give students opportunities to contribute to their whanau group.
Whanau points are also awarded on a daily basis to students for their achievements in the classroom.
The Whanau points tally is regularly updated and celebrated in assemblies, and the winning whanau is awarded the Whanau Cup at the end of the year.
