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.

Middle School Trip to Te Manawa

13 May 2026

Kia ora,

Tomorrow, Thursday 14 May, Teams Huia, Moa and Tui have our trip to Te Manawa. We will be leaving school at 9.30am and returning around 2.30pm. Please make sure you child has their lunch, a drink bottle filled with water and comfortable shoes.

Thank you to all of those parents who have agreed to help with supervision. If you put your name down, we definitely need you! Please be at school by 9.15am so we can get away on time. Unfortunately, parents will not fit on the bus so you will need to drive yourselves to the museum.

If you have any questions, please contact: ruth.fairweather@rongotea.school.nz

Nga mihi,

Middle School Trip

13 May 2026

Evening all,

Just a reminder that our middle school trip is tomorrow. We'll be leaving school at 9.30 by bus and returning by 2.30. Students need to be in uniform and have their lunch which we will be eating there.

We are off to Te Manawa to explore their history exhibitions which includes what school was like, the toys children played with and we'll explore the cottage to see what living in the past was like.

A reminder to also please keep the production costumes coming in as Mrs Tornquist needs all T-Shirts as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Jess
