Qualifications
This is a state-integrated school, largely funded by government subsidies. Students can participate in both the government standard assessment, NCEA, as well as the Steiner School Certificate. Currently the Steiner School Certificate is offered at Level 1. In 2011, the school was concerned that plans for national education standards would not fit with the Waldorf policy.[3] Pupils at the school at the time were judged by the Education Review Office (New Zealand) to make good progress.[3]

Notable alumni of the school include legal academic Professor Alexandra Sims.[5]
