We are a vibrant country primary school located in the heart of the Roto-o-Rangi district, just a short drive from Cambridge.
Roto-o-Rangi means Lake of the Sky due to the very large, shallow roto/lake that existed here pre-European settlement. The large, flat surface of the roto reflected te rangi/the sky.
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: Tuurangawaewae/Belonging, Mahi Tahi/Co-operation and Rerekeetanga/Innovation. A kura where tauira/students find a sense of belonging, work together and prepare for success in their future. 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.
A school bus runs daily from Leamington Rugby Sports Club and a rural bus collects students from around the Roto-o-Rangi and Kairangi areas. We have ample parking available for families who drop off and collect their children, with Before and After School Care programmes operating daily.
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/ngaa kaiako, ngaa whaanau/families and peers to flourish. Kaiako 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

We're reaching out to you for some whaanau support for our Garden-to-Table kitchen sessions, for our session this Wednesday and again next term. This will help our sessions to run smoothly and provide the best opportunity for the students to learn valuable skills such as cooking, measuring, following instructions, and problem-solving. Garden-to-Table sessions are held on Wednesdays, every two weeks, from 10:30 to 12:00. If you can help out please complete the form on the Skool Loop App, or if you don't have that you can contact the school office. Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles are welcome too!
