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.

What's happening at Rongotea School?

Interviews this week

31 Aug 2026

Morning Everyone,
Our parent teacher interviews are this week, they start tomorrow. Currently we have 110 bookings from 151 children, that means that 41 children don't have a parent teacher interview. I will close these at the end of school today; you can book yours on the "booking" tab of the skool loop app.

Many thanks.

Bike Safety

28 Aug 2026

Morning,

A couple have asked about the permission slip for the bike safety. There is no permission slip on ours as that's for the year 6 students who will go out on the road to practice their new skills. We're a bit young for that still and we'll just learn our skills on the courts.

Thanks,

Jess

Ice Cream containers

27 Aug 2026

Morning all,

As we are coming to the end of our ice cream experiment we are starting to turn our attention to using all these knew scientific skills to make ice cream to sell at the middle school market towards the end of the term. We are after ice cream containers please. We need as many as possible as there is a lot of ice cream to make.

There is also a notice coming home this afternoon about bike safety which we are running next week. This is delivered by sport Manawatu. We will be doing this on Wednesday 9th September. It's strongly encouraged students bring their own bike as it makes sense they learn how to be safe on their own bike. They do provide some bikes for children who can't get their bike to school or do not have one. Emphasis on a 2 wheeled bike, no trikes. Please read through the notice carefully.

Thanks,

Jess
