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.

URGENT COMMUNITY WORKING BEE
Saturday 28 November | From 9am | Rongotea School
We need your help!
Following the dismantling of our senior playground, we need to clear the remaining timber, remove old posts and fill in holes to ensure the area is SAFE for our tamariki until the new playground is installed at the end of January.
We're calling on our amazing Rongotea community for:
- Chainsaws and people confident using them
- Diggers and other machinery
- Trailers to remove timber and debris
- Manpower and plenty of helping hands!
Whether you have equipment, a few hours to spare or simply a willingness to roll up your sleeves, we would LOVE your help. Let's pull together and get the job done, Rongotea!
Please contact the Rongotea School PTA if you can help.
Ngā mihi nui!

Evening everyone,
Hope the packing has gone well today and everyone is excited and ready to go!
Just a few things for tomorrow morning - please be at school around 8.15am so we can get loaded and head off at 8.30am. When you arrive get your child to take their gear to the trailer on the back of the surf club van and a few of the parents will be there to load it in. They will need to keep their backpack with them. Just outside the van shed, in the school grounds, will be some big containers for you to put your baking/biscuits and fruit into.
Just be mindful that staff will be arriving around this time too so if possible park out the front of the school, on the roadside or the parking lot beside the saleyards/tennis courts.
They need to make sure they have morning tea and lunch tomorrow as well as one or two water bottles.
Any medication needs to be in a labelled ziplock bag with dosage instructions and given to myself or Nick when you arrive.
I will see you all in the morning!
Thanks
Jenna
