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 back Meet the Teacher and BBQ

12 Feb 2026

Morning Whānau,

Our annual welcome back Meet the Teacher and BBQ evening will be held on Wednesday the 25th of February. You will be able to meet your child's teacher and have a look around the classroom/s between 5.30pm - 6pm, BBQ for dinner will follow on from this at 6pm. Just a reminder that this is not a whānau interview, they are in week 7 with information regarding them coming out over the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the pool will be used by swim club during this time, so the pool will be out of action until 7pm. I have attached a link for the evening if you could please indicate whether you are attending or not and if you are coming along, how many will be attending the BBQ - this is for catering purposes - use form link below.

Please use this link - https://forms.office.com/r/uTYvUPVEAy

Many thanks
