Welcome to Rongotea School

Tēnā Koutou,

My name is Troy Anderson and I'm proud to lead the team here at Rongotea School. We are a rural school of 155 pupils in the heart of the Manawatu. We have eight amazing classrooms and a wonderful supportive community, an active Board of Trustees and a hard working PTA.

If you're considering us as a school for your child, please drop by, email me at principal@rongotea.school.nz or phone 06 324 8614.

Here at Rongotea School, we are very proud of the fantastic facilities we have. We have plenty of space to run around, play rugby, cricket, swim in our school pool, play tennis, bike on our bike track, exercise on our fitness track or play on our playgrounds.

We are currently focusing on developing a localised curriculum, this curriculum is developed to suit all learners at Rongotea School.

We have co-constructed classrooms, children setting student learning goals and next learning steps. It's important that each student knows what their learning goal is and what they can do to become successful life long learners.

Camp

4 Aug 2026

Afternoon everyone,

Today an account is coming home with your child regarding camp. The total cost for camp is set at $250 per student. The final date for payment is the end of Week 3 Term 4 (30th October). Please contact myself, Nick or Troy if payment is going to be an issue - we would love all the students to be able to go to camp this year. It will be a great week.

During Week 9 the permission, health forms etc. will be coming home with your child. These will need to be back to me by the end of Week 1 Term 4.

Any camp related queries please contact me on jenna.mcdonald@rongotea.school.nz

Thanks,

Jenna McDonald & Nick Baker
