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.

Good afternoon whānau,

You will need to drop your child off at school from 6:30am if they are coming to star gaze. Cooked breakfast will be served from 7:30am.
Remember, you are welcome to join us for the morning.
The school bus will be running at normal pick up time.
