At Ohakune Primary school we are committed to provide high-quality engaging education to foster development of the whole child.
We offer a wide range of opportunities unique to our area and programmes to expose learners to a wide range of sporting, academic and cultural experiences.
Ohakune Primary School is located at the base of Mt Ruapehu, which creates a school with one of the most breathtaking backdrops in New Zealand.
The school is well resourced and prides itself in providing an innovative approach to teaching and learning.
Snowsports is a large part of our Term 3 curriculum with every child learning how to ski or snowboard. As well as this opportunity, the school has a snowsports race team that compete at the North Island Primary School Championships.
Being part of a small community, as a school we pride ourselves in our connection to the community and the iwi.
We invite you to peruse this site to learn more about our school. However, if you would like additional information we invite you to contact us.

Our Values "PRIDE: Participation, Respect, Integrity, Determination, Environment" are the foundation for creating an environment where our learners can feel connected and confident. We embrace the Tuakana Teina philosophy through our House and School-wide Ambassador, House Captains and Mediator opportunities, which alongside our learning programmes, actively nurture our younger learners while simultaneously cultivating a sense of working in teams, taking responsibility, growing leadership and community among our senior learners (Matoiahiko). The PB4L approach guides our behavioural expectations within the school. We have a desire to create a sense of Hauoro in all our learners, ensuring they feel connected and confident.

Kia ora Rippa Rugby Whānau,
Unfortunately due to the weather that is forecasted for tomorrow Whanganui Rugby have made the call early to postpone the tournament until Thursday this week. Fingers crossed for better weather on Thursday.
For those who have offered to transport our teams down to Whanganui can you please get in touch with me if you are no longer able to help on Thursday due to other commitments.
Ngā mihi nui

Kia Ora whānau,
Our Ohakune Primary School PTA is running a fundraiser selling frozen croissants, frozen cookie dough and tea — and we would love your support!
Why are we fundraising?
We are aiming to raise $5,000 towards new Kapa Haka uniforms for our tamariki.
These uniforms will enable our students to perform with pride and unity, reflecting the mana and identity of our school and community. Fresh, well-fitted attire supports confidence on stage, strengthens cultural connection and helps encourage participation across all year levels.
Reaching our fundraising goal will ensure our Kapa Haka rōpū can represent Ohakune Primary School with PRIDE at events and celebrations, creating lasting memories and valuable learning experiences for our students.
What can you purchase?
- Frozen Croissants
- Frozen Cookie Dough
- Cups for Good Tea
How to order
Orders can be placed online through our fundraising page: OPS PTA Fundraiser – Place Your Order
Orders close: Sunday 18 October
Planned collection date: Thursday 5 November
Every order helps us get one step closer to our $5,000 goal and supporting our Kapa Haka rōpū.
We really appreciate your support!
Ngā mihi,
O.P.S PTA
