Putāruru Primary School


A Journey of Learning

Te Haerenga o te Ākonga

We provide a positive environment where each child is empowered to learn

 

The following Ngā Uara (values) will be promoted and modelled at Putāruru Primary School.

Like the analogy used by Moana Jackson - Just as visitors are expected to observe the kawa (protocol) or rules of a marae when they arrive as manuhiri (guests), individuals stepping through the gates of Putāruru Primary School are entering our marae (school) and are likewise expected to adhere to our Ngā Uara (values).

These values serve as the cornerstone of the atmosphere and interactions within our school. They encompass kindness, honesty, respect, and resilience in all aspects of our endeavours, whether it be in our interactions with others, our approach to learning, or our response to challenges.

These values not only define who we are as individuals but also collectively as a school community, guiding us in our daily actions

Why Putaruru Primary School?

Embark on an educational adventure like no other at Putāruru Primary School! Under the watchful guidance of the esteemed Raukawa iwi, our school is more than just a place of learning—it's a cultural hub where traditions come alive and history intertwines with every lesson.

At Putāruru Primary, we're not just educators; we embrace and eagerly learn about the unique cultural identities of all individuals who walk through our school gates. Whether your child comes from near or far, they'll find a warm welcome and a supportive environment that encourages them to share their heritage and learn from others.

While we celebrate cultural diversity, we also recognise the importance of foundational skills in literacy and mathematics. Ensuring a robust curriculum in these areas is paramount to your child's educational journey. Our dedicated teachers provide personalised support to ensure smooth transitions through the year levels and onto the local college and beyond.

Imagine your child exploring the lush surroundings of Putāruru, delving into the rich stories and traditions of the Raukawa people, and forging deep connections to the land they call home. Our commitment to honouring Raukawa wisdom infuses every aspect of our curriculum, ensuring that cultural diversity is not just embraced but celebrated.

Support Needed
20 Mar 2024

A huge thank you to all our amazing whanau who have offered support and help to our dear school whanau who have lost their home and possessions in a devastating fire on Sunday night.
Our hearts go out to you.
So.... we are putting some boxes in the foyer and ask that, if you are able you, can you please donate vouchers (Warehouse, Countdown etc), kai for the pantry and toiletries.  The whanau can then purchase the items they have not already been given or that they need straight away. It seems already they have had some amazing donations and they are very appreciative of the support. What a fantastic community we live in. Thank you Putaruru Primary Whanau.

WE THINK YOU ROCK PUTĀRURU PRIMARY SCHOOL STAFF
19 Mar 2024

This week, we're dedicating our focus to celebrating and supporting our staff, a tradition we call Hauora week.

This practice occurs every seventh week of the term, emphasising the importance of staff well-being.
We encourage our team to leave school at 3:30 pm and engage in activities that rejuvenate and nurture their own well-being. Whether it's indulging in a massage, spending quality time with whānau enjoying a movie, diving into a good book, or simply relaxing, the goal is to recharge. It's vital to prioritise the well-being of our staff, as they play a crucial role in nurturing and educating your incredible children.

A huge shout-out to the remarkable staff at Putāruru Primary School, who consistently go above and beyond for our students and the broader community. Happy Hauora Week!
