International Students

Tahuna welcomes International students to friendly, supportive enjoyable learning along with Dunedin's greatest Year 7 & 8 students.

A warm welcome to all students and families. Tahuna has a proud record of providing quality programmes, and of students striving for outstanding achievements. It is the school for the new millennium. We look forward to the next few years of your child's schooling. At Tahuna we will build on the development begun in Primary school but also add a new range of learning opportunities to meet the broadening interests and developmental requirements of the pre-adolescent. This is an important time in their academic and social development and Tahuna is staffed and resourced for the formative years. We have a wide range of learning opportunities available in the curriculum areas, sport, and cultural activities, many taking place outside school hours.

The basics in reading, writing and mathematics continue to be emphasised, along with the skills of communicating, co-operating, and solving problems. Tahuna has a supportive, positive learning environment where every child is encouraged, with successes being acknowledged regularly.
Tahuna is closely linked to the Dunedin College of Education, a "Normal" or "training" school where the expertise of all staff is used to assist teachers in training. We have a skilled team of staff combining new initiatives with tried and true successful approaches.
Working together we can make a difference to your child's attitude, efforts and achievements. That is the challenge we accept.
