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.

Hi everyone
Middle and Senior Athletics – Postponement
Due to the current weather conditions and the dampness of our fields, with further wet weather forecast, we have made the decision to postpone our Middle and Senior Athletics Day.
The event will now take place on Tuesday 17 November.
A number of events, including high jump, require safe and suitable ground conditions. With the fields currently slippery, we want to ensure all our tamariki can participate safely and enjoy the day.
Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to a great day of athletics next Tuesday!
