A Message from the Principal
Naumai , haere mai, and welcome to Rangiwaea School’s website. Here you will find a range of information about Rangiwaea School and learn about what makes us so unique.

Rangiwaea is a sole charge, single classroom, rural, decile 6, full primary school which offers top quality education. We have a rich history, having celebrated our centenary in 2005.

At Rangiwaea School, we have five values underpinning daily school life. These are:

Cooperation | Do your best | Respect | Honesty | Be Positive

These are values which our staff, parents and community believe will prepare the children for their future.

We are a very well resourced school, equipped with an extended range of ICT equipment, a wireless network, library, swimming pool, adventure playground, tennis court, sports field and up to date teaching materials.

Rangiwaea School currently has approximately 15 students. Our catchment area extends from the local Rangiwaea area (north of Taihape) to Waiouru and Tangiwai.

Our school is a very happy, safe and enjoyable place to learn. We have a very active Board of Trustees, supportive community and dedicated staff. With small class sizes, the children are able to interact with others of different ages, which, creates a family atmosphere. We attend sporting fixtures with other schools and we are very competitive.

The Teachers at Rangiwaea School are extremely professional and provide learning environments which stimulate creativity, challenge the children and incorporate the five school values. The teachers focus on providing a balanced teaching and learning programme.

I am certainly proud to lead Rangiwaea School and we all take pride and ownership. Here we have one common goal; provide top quality teaching and learning programmes designed to raise student achievement.

Our school mission statement is strive to succeed.

Please take your time to browse through our website, and enjoy!

Yours sincerely,

Fiona Duncan
Principal
Rangiwaea School
