Welcome to JUCO (Junior College)
Established in 2023 - one year after Api'i Te Uki Ou extended to Year 9 - JUCO is our Year 7–9 learning community. It bridges primary and secondary education, providing a supported, purposeful transition to high school. JUCO builds on primary foundations while giving older students greater independence, responsibility, and leadership opportunities to explore their unique interests and strengths through real-world learning.
