“Kia tupu, kia hua, kia puaawai.”

"To grow, to prosper, to flourish."

He Puaawai is a school within a school, based at Fraser High School in Hamilton. We offer up to 30 places for pregnant or teenage parents who want the opportunity to complete their secondary school NCEA qualifications.
 
We work with youth providers, Midlands health and community organisations, to ensure our students receive the financial and wellbeing support they may need. 

Our vision is for all He Puaawai students to be effective learners and contributors to their communities

We endeavour to provide a dynamic learning environment that promotes L.E.A.D values

We Value L.E.A.D.

We support students to discover their strengths, pursue their passions, and build a path toward lifelong success.

We are proud of our students’ achievements and belonging to Fraser’s legacy of success. We can hold our heads high as we endeavour to be the best we can be.

Every student at Fraser is an individual of unique worth. We value those who contribute and participate in the Fraser community in a caring and positive way. We believe in our students’ success and know that they deserve to achieve and succeed. 

We encourage our students to be courageous in their pursuit of success. We overcome the fear of failure by giving our students permission to make mistakes as they learn to achieve.
