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.

Dear Whānau,
If your child required a new ski pass, it was given to them today. Please check their school bag this afternoon.
All other ski passes have been reloaded and are ready for the ski season, which begins tomorrow at Tūroa.
A friendly reminder for families participating in the snow sports programme: payments must be made at least one week in advance of your child's ski day, as Tūroa now requires payment from the school one week before each visit.
Thank you for your support.
We look forward to another fantastic ski season!
Dear Kotahi/Rua Whanau
