WHAKAMARU SCHOOL

We are a decile 4, full primary school providing high quality education to children in years 1 to 8. While we have a very strong focus on reading, writing and maths, we provide a positive balance between academic, physical, social and cultural opportunities for our students... We are part of the Healthy Schools programme. This means we are lucky enough to have fruit for the students to eat every day - usually just before morning tea time. This is delivered fresh to the school twice a week. We have milk for schools from Fontera and hold Breakfast Club with Weetbix available for our students. We also have other healthy initiatives - including being an accredited sunsmart school... We have a library on-site which every child has the opportunity to use weekly during class time. We have new software which means students can access the catalogue and records remotely.
