Pukehina School 1762 Old Coach Road, Pukehina, Bay of Plenty 3186

Welcome to Pukehina School, Nau Mai Ki Te Kura o Pukehina! Located in the picturesque Western Bay of Plenty, just 20 minutes from Te Puke, our small rural kura is a true gem in the heart of New Zealand.

At Pukehina School, we believe that every student has the potential to achieve greatness and make a positive contribution to society. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to nurturing and supporting our akonga (students) to reach their fullest potential.

Respect is at the core of our school community. We foster an environment where students respect themselves and one another, appreciate individual differences, and encourage each other to be the best versions of themselves. Our values of positivity, respect, outstandingness, uniqueness, and discovery guide us in creating a safe and inclusive learning environment.

Our school is well-equipped to provide a well-rounded education for our students. With four classrooms, a swimming pool, a netball or tennis court, a rugby field, and two playgrounds, our students have ample opportunities for both academic and physical development. We also offer a free bus service to transport students from Pukehina Parade.

The well-being and achievement of our akonga is our top priority. We pride ourselves on delivering a comprehensive curriculum that caters to the diverse needs of our students. Our spacious, attractive, and colorful grounds provide a sense of peace and tranquility, allowing our students to thrive in a nurturing environment. Our Wairua (spirit) is very much alive!

To ensure the success of our students, Pukehina School employs two full-time kaiawhina (teacher aides) who work closely with students either one-on-one or in small groups. We have a strong focus on accelerated learning and achievement, empowering our students to excel academically.

Building and sustaining strong relationships is a cornerstone of our school. We value the voices of our students, their whanau (families), and the wider community. Together, we create a supportive network that fosters collaboration and growth.

We invite you to join our Pukehina School community, where every student is valued, encouraged, and inspired to reach their full potential. Experience the warmth and dedication that sets us apart. Come and discover the difference at Pukehina School.
