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 morning families,
Coming home with the eldest or only children this afternoon is their families invoice for the year.
All students have been invoiced for Stationery, which has remained the same as last year $45 per student.
Y7&8 students have also been invoiced $150 for Maramarua School technology fees and $400 for Wellington Camp so for some of you with older children your invoice may be quite large and daunting.
You can pay these via our Edge Parent app as it has the ability to take internet banking and credit card payments.
You can also direct debit payment into our school bank account. Details are on the invoice, and it is the same bank account that you pay into for fundraising etc.
If you need to pay off in weekly/fortnightly/monthly etc instalments, this is completely fine, please just let me know so I can keep track of it.
Kind Regards,
Emma Oliver-Harwood
Kia ora e te whānau,
We are reviewing our Orere Health and Physical Education (HPE) programme for 2026 and would love your input.
Health and PE includes physical activity, sport, hauora (wellbeing), relationships, personal safety, and learning about making healthy choices.
Your feedback helps us ensure our programme reflects the needs, values, and aspirations of our community.
Ngā mihi nui for taking the time to share your whakaaro 💛
