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.

Evening all,

Tomorrow afternoon we are doing a walk through of our cross country track in preparation for Friday. There has been a lot of rain and I expect the farm to be muddy, it might be best students bring gumboots or old shoes to walk the track.

Information has now gone out about the production in a couple of weeks. Times, dates and where to buy tickets. Be sure to get yours quickly, the kids are so excited and have been working hard for it.

Thanks,

Jess

No children are to be taken home until the last race is finished. If you are going to take your child at the end of the last race please let their classroom teacher know and sign them out.
