Information about our school

Our school is based in a rural community in Central Hawke’s Bay. We are a full primary school from year 1 to 8 with a roll of 46.  We have 3 fulltime teachers assisted by several part-time staff. 
Our school community is a mix of families from the surrounding district, which is made up of private farms, corporate farms, lifestyle farms and the beachside settlements of Kairakau and Mangakuri. Our location offers us a unique rural character and closeness to our wider school community.

We have a great range of pictures of our school and wider community.
