Can my child go here?
This school has an enrolment scheme, so a place is not open to every address. How enrolment zones work
Loading zone map…
Zone boundaries shown here are approximate. Ministry of Education data warns these boundaries do not have high spatial precision and can place neighbouring addresses on different sides of a line. This is not a confirmation of enrolment eligibility — always confirm directly with the school. Zone geometry also does not reflect enrolment priority rules (siblings, special character categories, ballots) — it shows the mapped boundary only.

What would the day look like?
The practical things this school states on its own website — the hours, the uniform, the term dates, and how children get there. These are the school’s own words, not the Ministry’s record and not ERO’s.
Quoted from this school’s own website, as we read it on 13 August 2026. A web page carries no date of its own, so that is the day we read it — not a statement that any of this is still the case. Each line quotes the words it came from.

What does the school say about itself?
Quoted, not summarised. Every school describes itself well, so this is here to be read as the school’s own case rather than as a finding — and a school that states nothing simply has no row.

- In their words
- Our four values are:

- Aroha – demonstrating empathy, kindness, and compassion towards others.
- -
- Manaakitanga – respecting ourselves, others, and our environment.
- -
- Hiringa – showing determination and always striving to do our best.
- -
- Haepapa – taking responsibility for ourselves, our belongings, and our environment.
What is on offer beyond the classroom?
The sports, arts, clubs and groups this school names on its own website. Not a complete list of what any school offers, and not a count — a school that names more here has written more down, which is not the same as doing more.

What did ERO find?
The Education Review Office reviews every school and publishes what it finds in full. We quote ERO’s report here, section by section, in ERO’s own words and order, and link to it. We do not summarise a report, pick a line out of one, or turn one into a score. How ERO reviews schools

- Board assurance
- The board attested to all areas (18 July 2023)
A board assurance statement is the board’s own account of whether it took all reasonable steps to meet its legal obligations, on the date shown. It is not ERO’s finding. ERO reports separately, in the same report, on any non-compliance it identified during that process.
The board assurance report of 18 July 2023 carries no actions-for-compliance section — the section ERO uses when it names non-compliance it identified. That is what this report contains; it is not ERO saying it found none. Other reports ERO holds for this school may say something different.
The roll ERO recorded, and when
ERO writes a roll into each report it publishes: a count taken for that report, on the day shown, by the review team that was there. The Ministry of Education’s current roll for this school is 225 — the figure at the top of this page, and the one to use for how big the school is now. These are a different measurement by a different body, so they will rarely agree, and a difference between them is not a change in the school.

What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 18 July 2023 — “Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report” — section by section, under ERO’s own headings, in ERO’s own order. Nothing is summarised, shortened or reordered.
Background
This Profile Report was written within 7 months of the Education Review Office and Oranga School working in Te Ara Huarau , an improvement evaluation approach used in most English Medium State and State Integrated Schools. For more information about Te Ara Huarau see ERO’s website. www.ero.govt.nz
Context
Oranga School, in One Tree Hill, Auckland caters for a diverse group of students from years 1 to 6. The school values of Hiringa , Aroha and Manaakitanga are depicted in the life of the school and underpin the school’s vision of ’Growing our Future Together’.
Oranga School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners to:
increase learning for all
provide a future focused curriculum
strengthen relationships and partnerships.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Oranga School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively culturally responsive practices are positively changing the culture of the school and promoting student success.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
the school’s recognition of the inclusive nature of the students and whānau in the school
the commitment to improving and enhancing te Tiriti o Waitangi principles.
The school expects to see the impact of culturally responsive practices on students holistically, and the impact on staff as they further refine culturally responsive practice.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate how effectively culturally responsive practices are positively changing the culture of the school and promoting student success.
positive learning environments are consistently characterised by high expectations, collaboration, empathy, where all ākonga are engaged in their learning
learner wellbeing that is consistently prioritised and fostered
learners have increased opportunities to learn and experience a broad curriculum connected to their culture
the school has strong inclusive practices including a specific focus on raising achievement for Māori and Pacific ākonga .
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise continuing to:
strengthen localised curriculum
embed te reo Māori and tikanga Māori into the curriculum
build leader capability to drive continuous improvement.
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all learners. ERO will support the school in reporting their progress to the community. The next public report on ERO’s website will be a Te Ara Huarau | School Evaluation Report and is due within three years.

All 3 reports ERO holds for this school
ERO reviews a school every few years — around four years between reviews is the usual cycle — so an older date here reflects where a school sits in that cycle, not how it is doing.
