Together we learn, together we grow

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.

Tomorrow's Tough Guy & Gal Event

24 May 2026

Evening everyone,

Just a reminder to all those Year 3-8's going to the Tough Guy & Gal tomorrow to be at school by 8.40am. Don't forget shoes to complete the event in, a towel, a change of clothes and something warm to put on afterwards. Students are to come in mufti, not uniform, and they can bring dress ups or costumes to run in. Please also ensure lots of food and drink is packed. There is hot food available so your child can bring along money with them if they wish to purchase something.

It is a fun day out with lots of spot prizes and everyone gets a medal as they finish.

Any queries please email me jenna.mcdonald@rongotea.school.nz

Thanks

Jenna
