History

In the 2007 ERO report, it was recommended that the Secretary for Education intervene in order to bring about improvements to school management and governance, with particular reference to improving the management of the curriculum, personnel, and the provision of a safe environment. A Limited Statutory Manager was appointed in August 2008 to work with the board to address these issues.[7]

The largest ethnic group is Tongan (28%) followed by Cook Island Maori (22%).[7]

Academics
