Our Vision

Akoranga / Learning

At Thames High School, students are challenged with meaningful, engaging opportunities to experience success and strive for the highest standards. We have high aspirations for students and are committed to supporting their personal growth and development throughout their time at Thames High School. We offer a full and comprehensive range of subjects at all levels.  

Tikanga / Culture

Thames High School prides itself on a vibrant cultural life, including a strong music department, drama, Kapa Haka, debating, art workshops, and a school magazine. Students are encouraged to participate in the rich variety of cultural activities.

Takaro Hākinakina / Sport

The School offers over 30 sporting codes and a range of sports facilities. Many of these activities involve students in local, regional, and national competitions in addition to interschool exchanges. Facilities include: modern gymnasium, weight training bay, tennis and netball courts and swimming pool.

Rāwaho / Outdoors

Outdoor Education offers students mental and physical challenges. Students learn both the practical and theoretical aspects of each pursuit before having the opportunity to be assessed in the activity in a natural setting. The aim of outdoor education is to inroduce students to disciplined activities, survival procedures, and many valuable recreational activities.
