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.

What's happening at Rongotea School?

Middle School Market Day 2026

17 Sep 2026

Kia ora,

Today the Middle School are holding their Market Day @ 1.30pm. This year we are selling ice creams for $2. The flavours have been created by the students based on a survey of the older students. They are:

Lemon and strawberry with sour lollies

Vanilla (with sherbet for an extra 50c)

Cookies and cream with Oreos

Each class will have a chance to buy their ice cream after lunch.

Allergies: Please note that the flavours above all contain dairy and gluten. For those students who are not able to eat those, we have dairy free Vanilla or Chocolate ice cream available.

If anyone who has a child in Team Huia, Moa or Tui has an ice cream scoop they are willing to lend us, please send it along. Thank you.

Ruth, Deb and Jess

Feilding Touch

16 Sep 2026

Afternoon everyone,

Thank you for returning the Feilding Touch notices. At this stage we have got 2 teams in each age group which is great. I am still needing coaches/managers for both Year 1-2 teams, both Year 5-6 teams and managers for the 2 Year 7-8 teams. All you will need to do is manage the subs at the games, however you are more than welcome to come along and do some coaching with the teams at school during lunchtimes.

Please flick me an email if you are able to help out - jenna.mcdonald@rongotea.school.nz

Thanks

Jenna
