Our Strategic Plan
2025-2028
We endeavour to provide the highest quality education for our students and provide a seamless education journey from year 7 to 13.
In 2024 the Board of Trustees contracted The Education Group to carry out the community consultation in developing a new Strategic Plan for Waiheke High School. This plan will take us through to our 2028 Board of Trustees election.
The stakeholders consulted for the development of this strategic plan included students, staff and whānau of Waiheke High School, local iwi Ngāti Paoa, parents at feeder schools (Te Huruhi School and Waiheke Primary School) and our Piringakau whānau.
We had outstanding results from the consultation with hundreds of responses informing our Strategic Plan.
