Ko Hauraki te Iwi
Our school acknowledges and recognises all Hauraki Iwi. When establishing the school’s Rūmaki Unit, the following iwi were identified as strongly represented within our school – Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Hako, Ngāti Tara Tokanui, Ngāti Paoa and the hapū Ngāti Tawhaki. Within our school charter, guided by the school’s vision we will show our commitment to the revitalisation of Haurakitanga |
Paeroa Central School is a dual medium primary school located in the rural town of Paeroa.
The school is 140 years old and currently operates 4 classrooms with a roll of approximately 80 students. We have two English Medium classes and two Māori Medium Level 1 Rūmaki classes. In the Rūmaki classes, Te Ara Hou o te Reo, 80-100% of learning is in Te Reo Māori. Auraki (English) Medium students also have lessons in Te Reo Māori working within Level 4 Te Reo Māori. All students have the opportunity to join Kapa Haka and work towards performing at the Hauraki Festival in Term 4.
Each class has a teacher aide or kaiawhina. Some support staff also run small group learning programmes. All children are supported with their learning. We have a school wide focus on literacy: te reo Matatini and numeracy: Pāngarau. We have a cultural curriculum linked to our unique area Hauraki. This includes hītori (history), pūrākau (traditional stories) and kawa me ngā tikanga (rules that are set).
We are an Enviro school and in Term 2 and 3, learning is student driven where practical activities are tied to learning about sustainability. Students may cook, work in the school vegetable gardens and orchard, make ointments using rongoā, design and paint murals, and/or work with local community. Our students strive to be excellent Kaitiaki (Guardians).
We strongly promote Sport and Education Outside the Classroom programmes.

Kia ora e te whanau,
There are no whanau evenings this week. They have been postponed to week 10. Please see newsletter from last week. Nga mihi maioha
Wear purple to kura tomorrow and show your support for an inclusive education system across Aotearoa—one where every ākonga is valued, included, and able to access the learning support they need through well-resourced and responsive support systems.
Together, we can help ensure all tamariki have the opportunity to learn, participate, and thrive. 💜
🎉 He tino whakahirahira! 🎉
Ngā mihi tino nui ki a Manahau Te Ohaere-Fox, who proudly represented Ōhinemuri at the Thames Valley Cross Country yesterday.
Manahau achieved an outstanding result, becoming the first student from our kura to place in the top five in their age group! We are incredibly proud of your determination, perseverance, and the mana you showed while representing our kura and Ōhinemuri.
“Whaia te iti kahurangi; ki te tuohu koe, me he maunga teitei.”
Pursue excellence, and should you bow, let it be only to a lofty mountain.
Ka mau te wehi, Manahau! He rawe tō mahi, kei runga i te omaroa! 🏃♂️🏅👏
📣 Reminder for our Auraki whānau
There will be NO kura tomorrow, Tuesday 1 September, for students in Mumuhau Teina and Mumuhau Tuakana, as our Auraki kaiako will be attending a Teacher Only Day.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
