Welcome to Roto-o-Rangi School

Maungatautari Mountain provides the perfect rural backdrop to our spacious park-like grounds, boasting fruit and native trees, vegetable gardens and of course an enormous field for our tamariki to enjoy!

If you are looking for a kura / school that is a little bit different we welcome you to come for a visit!

Introducing Our School

We are a vibrant country primary school located in the heart of the Roto-o-Rangi district, just a short drive from Cambridge, with a school bus running daily from Leamington Rugby Sports Club and a rural bus collecting students from the Kairangi Loop. We have ample parking available for families who drop off and collect their children, and before and after school care programmes running daily.

Our school is a mix of rural and town students from Years 1 to 6. As a school, we have a clear and strong Vision identifying who we are, what we stand for and the direction we are heading. We are a PB4L School, with a focus on positive behaviour centred around our three school values of Respect Whakaute, Responsibility Manawaroa and Resilience Takohanga.

At Roto-o-Rangi School, we combine country values with modern learning. We are committed to providing a positive, stimulating, enjoyable learning environment where your child is encouraged to 'Tuumanako Teitei Aim High' and reach their full potential. Our smaller size allows the relationships between students, teachers and peers to flourish so that the teachers can truly know the individual and get the best out of them.

Our high quality teaching staff provide stimulating, challenging and learner-centred teaching practices. They incorporate traditional, proven techniques with modern, innovative approaches to develop the strong foundations needed for our tamariki to thrive in an ever-changing future.

To find out more about us, please take your time to explore our site, visit our Facebook page or call in for a visit.

I look forward to personally meeting you, and having you and your child/ren join our school community.

Ngaa mihi,

Wayne Donnellon - Principal

ANZAC Day parade

9 Apr 2024

Kia ora nga maatua,

Every year we have 2 students represent our school in laying the wreaths during the Civil ANZAC Day ceremony at 10am on 25th April. We are looking for 2 students to represent us again this year, preferably Year 5/6 children. Let the office know a.s.a.p. if your child is prepared to do this, and we will send home more detailed information about the event.

If families are attending the ceremony we ask if you could get your children to wear their Roto top and represent the school as a group. All the children could stand together, and then the 2 Seniors would take the wreath and lay it down at the appropriate time.

We will be holding our own small ceremony here at school on Friday, the last day of the term.

Ata maarie koutou,

If your child has borrowed a Roto-o-Rangi School t-shirt for kapa haka or for the trip to the zoo please wash it and return it this week.

Our 2nd hand stock is for loaning to students when they have forgotten their shirt, and is currently very low. If your child does not have their own Roto shirt please contact the office to purchase one.
