Principals' Welcome

Kia ora and welcome to Pukepoto School.

Situated in the heart of our picturesque rural community, Pukepoto School is dedicated to fostering an environment where our tamariki can excel and develop in a nurturing and supportive setting. We are steadfast in our commitment to delivering a high-quality education that honours both academic achievement and the rich cultural heritage of Aotearoa.

Our esteemed team of kaiako, supported by our kaimahi, are devoted to cultivating a learning environment that is both challenging and inclusive, ensuring that every student is encouraged to realise their full potential. Our guiding values of ako (learning), manaakitanga (respect and kindness), whanaungatanga (relationships), and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) are at the heart of all our endeavours.

We place a strong emphasis on whanaungatanga, nurturing robust connections between our students, whānau, and the wider community, and are renowned for providing numerous Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) opportunities, leveraging te taiao to enhance our educational experiences. 

We are proud of our small school and the unique opportunities we provide, ranging from our comprehensive curriculum to our dynamic extracurricular programmes. We encourage you to visit our website to learn more about what makes Pukepoto School a distinguished environment for learning and development and look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant school community!
