Behind our school stands an old pa site   “Karanga e Tūī.”

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

 

'Ko te ako, ko te tupu ake'
'Together we learn, together we grow'

We have a cultural curriculum linked to our unique area - Hauraki

 

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.

Matariki Meat Raffle Fundraiser – Support Our Kura
26 Jun 2026

Kia ora e te whanau 


Your child will be bringing home a raffle ticket to either purchase or sell. We would greatly appreciate your support of our Matariki Fundraiser, with all proceeds going towards the resurfacing of our top netball court.

This court is one of the most valued learning and recreation spaces in our kura. It is where our tamariki participate in Physical Education, train for netball, practise mau rākau and kapa haka, enjoy KiwiSport activities, play Te Kī-o-Rahi, skipping, and take part in junior games during break times.

Every ticket sold brings us one step closer to creating a safer, more durable, and enjoyable space for our tamariki to learn, play, and thrive.

Please tautoko our kaupapa by purchasing or selling your raffle tickets. Together, we can make a lasting difference for our tamariki. Ngā mihi nui for your support!
