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.

Morning Everyone,
It’s that time of year again when we need to share a quick reminder about our 3pm leaving procedures.
First, a huge thank you from all the staff for your incredible support with our start-of-the-day procedures—this has been working exceptionally well!
Important Safety Notice: Staff Carpark Gate
We have noticed a large number of children and whānau leaving through the gate that leads into the staff carpark. This is creating a high-risk situation, especially if staff members need to drive out at 3pm.
To keep all our tamariki safe, please do not use the carpark gate. Instead, please use one of our three designated exits:
Gate 1: By the swimming pool
Gate 2: By the bike track
Gate 3: By the Rec Centre
School Production Next Week!
Don't forget to grab your tickets for our upcoming School Production at the Feilding Civic Centre. We can't wait to see you there!

The Beat Goes On! - Rongotea School Production - Feilding Civic Centre Wednesday 24 June and Thursday 25 June
Production Information for Parents and Whānau
Kia ora Whānau,
Our school production dates are fast approaching. Here are a few housekeeping arrangements for our shows.
This is a whole school production, so every child has a contribution to make and needs to be at all the performances.
Wednesday 24 June morning show:
Students arrive for school as normal. We will travel by bus to the theatre ready for the show. Please apply makeup in the morning as outlined below. This is a considerable time saver. At the end of the show, students will return to school by bus. School will finish at the normal time of 3pm.
Evening Shows Wednesday 24 June and Thursday 25 June
Drop Off
If any of your children have a speaking role that requires a microphone, please drop them off at The Feilding Civic Centre at 5pm. There will be teachers on site to let them in. The additional time is needed to fit microphones and to do a sound check and iron out any issues. All other students need to be there by 5.30pm please. Please do not come into the gym, drop your child off at the gym door please.
Every student should already be wearing their make up for the evening performance when they arrive. Every student will need to wear foundation, mascara and red or pink lipstick.
The show will begin promptly at 6pm.
Pick Up
All students will need time to change out of their costumes at the end of the performance. This will take a few minutes to organise. Students use various rooms around the theatre to do this. However, when they are all changed they will return to the gym. They will be able to be picked up from there only when they are all changed. Please do not come into the gym until a teacher opens the doors and lets you in. To keep the chaos to a minimum, we ask that just one family member come in to collect each child please. Also please make sure that you make contact with your child’s teacher before you leave, as we need to make sure every student is accounted for. The estimated pick-up time is 7.15pm.
We are looking forward to sharing the students’ hard work with you. Tickets are on sale at the school office.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher.
