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.

PTA LUNCH FORM CORRECTION
Please note the tick box on the right side of the lunch form should read Rongotea School and not Te Kawau.
Correct wording is- If you are competing in the Rongotea School Swim Sports please tick here.
Apologies PTA
Kia Ora Whanau,
Your student may have mentioned I haven't been teaching them this week. I have been away due to my father being in hospital. It is serious, and I and my brother are his only family left. I will be away for the remainder of the week.
What does this mean moving forward?
As you can appreciate, my attention needs to be on my dad. So, moving forward, Troy and I have put a plan in place so I can manage my personal issues but still be present with your student in Team Huia. Next week I will be working until lunchtime. Troy will have them in the afternoon. This way, I can still ensure students are being taught the really important stuff based on my planning and next steps for your student. Troy will continue with activities in the afternoon that will meet the rest of the curriculum.
I am sorry for this interruption in your students learning. I understand it is not ideal. Moving forward I am trying to do what's best for your student and Team Huia but I also need to do what's best for my family. If you need to get in touch re your student please do email me, I will endeavour to keep communicating with you. I will also make sure that past next week, I keep you up to date with what's happening. Dad's condition is serious but stable and only time will tell in terms of returning him back to health.
Thanks very much for your understanding,
Jess
Afternoon all,
I've created an online survey for the community pages to get some feedback on how this effects residents, future residents, and families facing high school in the next few years. Can they afford this? Is this sustainable. Why the Marton bus is not an option for our residents. Then I can form an argument with why they should help fund the bus and why it is in the councils' best interests to consider it.
Below is the survey for families so they can voice their concerns and I can form an argument based on voices of the community who this has directly impacted.
I'd be grateful if you could click on the link and fill in the form.
Parents, please support our local businesses
