Waiau Pa School

Welcome to Waiau Pa School, a prestigious establishment located in the beautiful semi-rural area of Pukekohe, New Zealand. Situated on Waiau Pa Road, our school is conveniently located just 15 minutes away from both Papakura and Pukekohe.

As you step onto our magnificent campus, you will be greeted by the stunning natural surroundings, including native trees, expansive play areas, and attractive buildings and classrooms. These picturesque grounds provide the perfect backdrop for our students to thrive and grow.

With approximately 350 pupils ranging from years 1 to 8, Waiau Pa School is dedicated to providing a high-quality education that emphasizes literacy and numeracy. We believe in recognizing the unique talents and abilities of each student, and to achieve this, we offer a range of exciting and varied programs.

At Waiau Pa, we understand the importance of integrating digital technology into education. Our students benefit from a curriculum that is not only values-based but also incorporates specialist music and performing arts programs. We believe in enhancing student learning through a holistic approach, both inside and outside the classroom.

The arts, sports, and culture are highly valued at Waiau Pa School and form an integral part of our diverse program. We encourage our students to explore their creative side, participate in various sports activities, and embrace cultural experiences. These opportunities not only foster personal growth but also promote teamwork and a strong sense of community.

We are proud to share the exciting news that we recently welcomed special guests from Ebbet Pukekohe, a local business known for its support of schools and sports teams. In November 2022, Ebbet Pukekohe approached Mr. Clark, our school's principal, with a sponsorship deal. They generously provided us with a school van for events and travel, and in return, we proudly advertise their business. We held a Whakatau, a traditional Maori welcome ceremony, to express our gratitude and officially welcome Ebbet Pukekohe into our school community.

The entire Waiau Pa School community is incredibly grateful for this van, which will be used for various sports events, Jump Jam, William Pike, and more. We look forward to maximizing its potential and providing our students with even more enriching experiences.

We invite you to explore our website and discover more about the exceptional education and opportunities that Waiau Pa School offers. Whether you are a prospective student, parent, or member of the community, we welcome you to join us on this educational journey, where teaching and learning are at the heart of everything we do.
