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

Good Morning, 

Our first show day is finally here. Just a quick request for the girls. If possible could they please come to school with their hair up in a high pony-tail, side pony tail or two high pig-tails. Could you please also send along a comb or a hair brush. 

Please could all of the students also have their makeup applied - foundation, mascara and lipstick, before they come to school.  

Just a reminder that all students will be off site today for the show. There is a second show this evening. Students with speaking roles should be at the Feilding Civic Centre by 5pm and all other students by 5.30pm. If they could once again have their hair and makeup done. That would be great. 

Thank you so much. We can't wait for you to see our show. The students have worked really hard on their items and they look fantastic. Remember tickets are on sale at the office. No door sales will be available.
