KERI
KERI is our school mascot who is the guardian of our school. KERI is a karearea and the karearea was chosen because it was our Year 7/8 intermediate team name. Also it is a strong and resilient bird whose prowess is clearly recognised.
Like the karearea, we want our learners to take their learning to new heights. We want them to take risks in their learning and constantly push their boundaries exploring their learning world. We want them to try new challenges and share their growing learning power.
