About TKKM o Tokomaru
Embrace tradition, celebrate diversity - Welcome to TKKM o Tokomaru Primary School
Nestled in the heart of Gisborne'in picturesque suburb of Tokomaru Bay lies a school that not only educates but also enriches its students with an appreciation for their rich Māori heritage. TKKM o Tokomaru, affectionately known as 'Toko', is more than just another primary institution; it's a cornerstone of the local community where 21 young minds are nurtured each day.
As an inclusive co-educational establishment with deep cultural roots within Māori society, Toko stands as a testament to unity and shared values. With approximately two thirds of its students being proud representatives of the indigenous culture, this school ensures that their voices are heard loud and clear in every lesson plan.
"Education is not just about academics; it's a journey through life," says Principal Herena Paranihi. Under her leadership, students at Toko learn to respect each other while also gaining proficiency in their mother tongue and English language skills that are essential for the modern world.
