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.

We wanted to remind you of the attendance expectations that were sent out at the beginning of the year. This is a gentle reminder that we had made the decision "for your child to attend any non curriculum event they will need at least a 90% attendance rate. We know there are some factors that impact your child's attendance and these are out of their control; these factors will be taken into account when decisions are made by the Senior Management Team. Your child needs to be attending everyday as the curriculum will not wait for them, and they will be left behind with gaps within their learning".
While I have you - we will also be looking at your child's behaviour when it comes to non-curriculum-based events and if your child's behaviour at school isn't meeting expectations, then they will find themselves missing out on all the fun. In the classroom we have a warning system, where your child will be reminded that their behaviour isn't meeting expectations and this can look like a name on the board, if your child's behaviour doesn't improve, they will find themselves with a reflection sheet and removed from the class. This reflection sheet is an opportunity to reflect on their behaviour and make the necessary changes to improve their behaviour. If your child gets a reflection, they will automatically gain a lunchtime detention. In some cases, their will be no warning and it will be straight removal from class.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the above information please book a time to come and see me.
Enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend.
Thanks
Troy
