HELP US CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF TANGAROA COLLEGE!

This year marks our Golden Jubilee - 50 years of learning, friendship and community. As we celebrate our history, we’re looking to the future of our students.

Our school has grown so much but our facilities need to catch up!

We are raising funds to build a permanent Archgola over the E Block area. This will provide:
✅ Sun safety for our users (high-UV protection)
✅ An all-weather space for sports, culture and assemblies
✅ A dry connection between E Block and the rest of the school

Let’s ensure the next 50 years are even brighter. Every donation helps us reach our goal!

From Marshy.

As an alumni of Tangaroa College, it’s good to see our own doing well. I got Tauwhare Lawn Care Services Tauwhare Pasene in to sort out my lawns at home, and I was genuinely impressed. The yard was completely transformed — honestly looked like something out of the Auckland Botanic Gardens.

The service was fast, reliable, and straight up. Communication was clear, he did exactly what he said he would, and the cost was fair. No mucking around, just solid mahi done properly.

If you need someone you can trust to look after your whare and your whenua, get Tauwhare. You can’t go wrong — it’s in the name!!!
