Tokoroa Intermediate is a member of the Tokoroa Kahui Ako. Staff work together with other educational groups to collaborate to not only better our kura but enhance our local commuity. The Kahui Ako works closely with Raukawa Trust Board to ensure that local tikanga and te reo māori are being taught. This will see a greater understanding of our local history.

Extract from the Tokoroa Kahui Ako website
Schools focus on going from a competitive organisation to a collaborative organisation. For our Tokoroa Kāhui Ako this journey has been incredible, it is about all our tamariki and together we are striving to make a difference and create an education pathway that will be beneficial for Tokoroa students. We are now working collaboratively alongside other teachers in schools, ECEs, Kindergarten, Kohanga Reo & Punanga.
It’s an amazing feeling to know that we are no longer working in isolation but working together to grow each other to build.
What is the Purpose?
Our main value for the Kāhui Ako is Mahi Ngātahi which brings about collaboration, collective responsibility, accountability and commitment to support and care for each other as we work through our Kāhui Ako journey.
