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. 

Welcome

Morning everyone,

Hope your children are well rested and ready for a busy term ahead. A few things to take not of please as we head back to school.

If you have extra jars can you please send them along too just in case some students don't have access to one.

Ag Day and Middle School Trip to Wellington
8 Oct 2026

Kia ora Whanau, 

Term 4 is almost here and that means Ag Day. The students in the Middle School (Teams Huia, Tui and Moa) will be making Aqua jars next Thursday. For this, each child will need to bring a glass jar with a screw lid (e.g. empty jam jar) and a single flower to put inside it. If anyone has extra flowers or jars they are share for anyone who doesn't have either, that would be greatly appreciated. 

This term, the Middle School will be heading down to Wellington. On Friday 20 November, we will be visiting the Zoo and then heading over to Clip n Climb in Lower Hutt before returning to school. The permission slip for this trip will come home on Monday. Thanks to a very generous donation from the PTA and the students own fundraising efforts with their icecream sales, the cost of the trip will be $55 per student. 

Enjoy the last of the holidays. 

Ruth, Jess and Deb
