Principal’s Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school community. Hare Krishna School is a special character state-integrated composite school located in West Auckland, providing education for students from Year 1 through to Year 13. We are privileged to partner with families to support young people in their academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth.

At Hare Krishna School, we are guided by our vision: To empower every child to discover their extraordinary potential through their connection with Krishna. We believe that every child is unique, possessing individual gifts, talents, and strengths that can flourish when nurtured in a supportive and purposeful learning environment.

Our dedicated staff are committed to providing high-quality teaching and learning programmes that challenge students to strive for excellence while fostering curiosity, creativity, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Alongside strong academic foundations, we seek to cultivate character, compassion, integrity, and a spirit of service through the teachings and values of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava tradition.

One of the strengths of Hare Krishna School is our close-knit community. Our size allows us to know our students well, build meaningful relationships with whānau, and provide personalised support that enables every learner to succeed. We are proud of our students, who demonstrate respect, kindness, responsibility, and a genuine desire to contribute positively to others’ lives.

Whether you are already part of our school community or considering joining us, I warmly invite you to visit Hare Krishna School and experience our unique learning environment for yourself. We would be delighted to show you our school, answer your questions, and share how our special character education supports students to thrive both now and into the future.

I look forward to meeting you.
