Ko Hauraki te Iwi
Our school acknowledges and recognises all Hauraki Iwi. When establishing the school’s Rūmaki Unit, the following iwi were identified as strongly represented within our school – Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Hako, Ngāti Tara Tokanui, Ngāti Paoa and the hapū Ngāti Tawhaki. Within our school charter, guided by the school’s vision we will show our commitment to the revitalisation of Haurakitanga |
Paeroa Central School is a dual medium primary school located in the rural town of Paeroa.
The school is 140 years old and currently operates 4 classrooms with a roll of approximately 80 students. We have two English Medium classes and two Māori Medium Level 1 Rūmaki classes. In the Rūmaki classes, Te Ara Hou o te Reo, 80-100% of learning is in Te Reo Māori. Auraki (English) Medium students also have lessons in Te Reo Māori working within Level 4 Te Reo Māori. All students have the opportunity to join Kapa Haka and work towards performing at the Hauraki Festival in Term 4.
Each class has a teacher aide or kaiawhina. Some support staff also run small group learning programmes. All children are supported with their learning. We have a school wide focus on literacy: te reo Matatini and numeracy: Pāngarau. We have a cultural curriculum linked to our unique area Hauraki. This includes hītori (history), pūrākau (traditional stories) and kawa me ngā tikanga (rules that are set).
We are an Enviro school and in Term 2 and 3, learning is student driven where practical activities are tied to learning about sustainability. Students may cook, work in the school vegetable gardens and orchard, make ointments using rongoā, design and paint murals, and/or work with local community. Our students strive to be excellent Kaitiaki (Guardians).
We strongly promote Sport and Education Outside the Classroom programmes.

Congratulations to all our akonga! It was great to see everyone participating at our school athletics day, and having our parents and whanau cheering them on as well. Ka mau te wehi!
Attached are the Track Results. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to complete all field events for some age groups, so we will run these at kura on Monday. The team selected for Ohinemuri Athletics will be published Monday 16th November in the afternoon. Nga mihi
ATHLETICS DAY is still on!
Delayed start time of 10am due to the wet grounds.
10am - Track Events
11.30am - Field Events
If it continues to rain this morning, then we will only run the track events at 11.30am. I will let you know by 9.30am
Due to the persistent wet weather, we are uncertain on whether we will still be holding our school athletics at the Paeroa Domain. An alternate date will need to be arranged with the council and athletic club if it is postponed. I will post the decision by 8.30am tomorrow morning. Nga mihi
