About Pukekohe Christian School
Pukekohe Christian School is an independent, faith-based school located on Yates Road, Pukekohe, in a semi-rural setting a short distance from the town centre. It operates as a co-educational school catering for students from Year 1 through to Year 13.
The school's character is explicitly Christian. All teaching staff are required to be committed Christians, and the school's stated mission is to provide Biblical, Christ-centred education that integrates Christian values across academic and social development. This faith basis shapes both the curriculum and the school's expectations of its community.
Academically, the school follows the Cambridge International Curriculum across all year levels, from the primary programme through to A Level examinations at Year 13. Secondary students from Year 7 onwards are taught by subject specialists. The school states it welcomes students of all academic abilities.
The school is led by Principal Mrs Carolyn Cornu (BA, BTchg, MEdL(Hons)), supported by a Senior Management team covering both primary and secondary sections. Governance is provided by a Board of Governors.
Parent involvement is a stated feature of the school's structure, with families participating in activities including camps, sporting events, cultural days, and the Duke of Edinburgh programme.
