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.

Thursday 30th October Agriculture Day
Agriculture Day is upon us next week and some of our busy students are preparing their lambs and calves.
We also have our indoor competitions for Junior, Middle and Senior sections.
The attached poster has information of the categories for students to participate in. This is not compulsory but our aim is to have great participation with this day. It would be amazing to have great support from you at home. Students will be doing these activities at home and will need to bring them to the hall on Ag Day. Junior Flower Saucers will be done in the classroom on Ag Day morning.
The Young Farmer Competition for Y4-8 will be running throughout the day as well as the Junior Hobby Races, so come along and support our awesome students!!
We look forward to seeing the students creations on display next week. Come along and watch the fun
Kind regards
Amy Lee
