Policies & Procedures
We are a small rural school with strong ties to our coastal community. We believe that children need free play, meaningful structured learning, and personal choice to be successful at school.
Our learning programmes are developed to cater to the needs and interests of the children that are currently in the school. Our teachers are dynamic, inspirational people who know the children and their whānau.
We aim for our children to be confident learners who have a strong sense of self-worth and belonging. They develop meaningful connections in the school and the community.
Our children value the unique Māori perspective that is part of our New Zealand heritage while valuing diversity in all its shapes and forms.
Our teaching and learning programmes are underpinned by our strategic plan that is focussed on enhancing the hauora of every learner by meeting their individual needs.
31 Jul 2026
Just a reminder that this Friday 31st July is a Teacher Only Day.
This is an MOE mandated day for Maths PLD for all teachers in our Kahui Ako.
Kind Regards,

Good morning,
Next Thursday 6th August is Cross Country. It will be held at the Rook farm (opposite the hall intersection) again.
Thursday 13th is the rain saver day.
This year Kaiaua School will also be joining us.
We need some parent helpers to be marshalls on the course please. We will be leaving school at 9:30am and walking over together.
Races begin at 10am and will be finished by approximately 10:50am.
Please let me know if you can help marshall at the event.
Kind Regards,
Emma Oliver-Harwood
So far I only have chick orders from the Bracewell, Carson, Christie & Williams families.
If anyone else wants to order some, please let me know ASAP as I need to send our order to the breeder.

Hi whanāu,
It's winter meaning we're fundraising with Oxford Pies again - nice to have stashed in the freezer for the cold days & nights.
Printed order forms are coming home with your child this afternoon. If you wish to order, please make sure your order forms and payment are returned to me by Monday 10th August.
Kind Regards,
Emma Oliver-Harwood
