From 2018 Tapu School ERO Report :  

School governance is effective in supporting ongoing improvements to student outcomes.

Trustees are experienced in their roles and engaged with the community. They are well informed about student achievement, progress and wellbeing, and actively promote Māori students’ language, culture and identity. Trustees make informed decisions about school priorities based on achievement information provided by the principal. The board works collaboratively with the school’s leader to realise the school’s strategic goals and targets.

A strengths-based approach underpins relationships within the school and with parents and whānau. Frequent communication and responsive partnerships with parents are supporting student wellbeing and learning successes.
