About Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School basketball court

Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School is a primary school at 15-17 Monmouth Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, in the inner-city community of Newton. The school describes itself as Te Tiriti o Waitangi based, inclusive and diverse. It has a co-governance structure that gives Māori representation on the Board of Trustees, and every child gets to visit a marae before leaving.

The school offers two programmes. Te Puāwaitanga is an English-medium programme that follows the New Zealand Curriculum, and Te Uru Karaka is a total immersion te reo Māori programme for the full day, which the site says requires a fluent te reo speaker in the family. Whānau Awahou is a programme for families who want to begin learning te reo Māori. The school also sells apparel at its office, with proceeds going to the school.
