Our South Auckland School caters for Year 1 – Year 6 students and is in the heart of Manurewa, with options for Intermediate and High Schools right around the corner
Our school has a strong, inclusive culture, and is proud to be regarded as a caring and safe place for children and teachers to learn alongside each other. Our vision is encapsulated in these four words, Fun (Parekareka), Friends (Hoahoa), Family(Whanaungatanga) and Future (Te Amua). About 60% of our students are Mäori with 30% Pasifika.
We continue with things such as lunchtime sport, which keeps our students out of mischief and safe at lunch times because they are so busy keeping fit and becoming skilled in whatever sport they choose to play.
Our school was built in 1962 and I am the seventh principal since its inception. During the twelve (12) years I have been here, there have been many changes to this school. Our new classrooms, library nd ICT suite are all up and running.
