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

Christmas Parade
11 Nov 2026

Kia Ora Whanau

 

The Rongotea Christmas Parade will be held on Sunday 22nd of November 2026. Each year, Rongotea School enters a school float. This year our theme will be ‘The Polar Express’. If your child would like to be on the Rongotea School float, please email eve.flett@rongotea.school.nz  by Tuesday 17th of November. The float can hold approximately 60-65 people so the first 65 names I receive will be held a spot for the float, so let me know asap if your child/ren would like to be on the float. 

 

Children will need to be at Rongotea School at 12:00pm on Sunday 22nd of November. We will depart school at 12:15 for the float to be judged at 12:30. Please ensure your child has eaten and gone to the bathroom before they get to school as they are on the float for approximately 1-1.5 hours. 

 

If your child does want to be on the float, could they please wear Christmas attire e.g. Santa hat and Christmas clothing (or red clothing).  Any shorts are fine. 

 

Any further questions, please email. 

 

Regards, 

Eve Flett
