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.
Good morning Room 2 students, parents and caregivers,
Our Room 2 students have been invited on a special local adventure next week!
On Tuesday, 9 December 2025, during the last block, our class will be visiting The Hungry Rush to enjoy an ice-cream, a wonderful family-owned restaurant just down the road. This visit is extra meaningful, as the whānau who run The Hungry Rush have been blown away by the kindness, manaakitanga, and aroha our students have shown toward their own child; and they wanted to give something back to the class in return.
We will leave school at 1:45pm (start of last break) and walk together as a class. We expect to return to school by 2:30pm so that students who travel home by bus are still able to do so.
As part of celebrating their new menu items, The Hungry Rush loves capturing people’s genuine reactions to their creations. They may take photos or short video clips during our visit, which could appear on their social media pages.
If you are not comfortable with your child being filmed, photographed, or featured on The Hungry Rush’s social media (facebook and instagram), please let me know by replying to my email below. Your child will still fully participate in the visit and enjoy a complimentary ice-cream with their classmates; I will simply just make sure they are not included in any digital media.
This is a lovely chance to support a local business, strengthen our community connections, and celebrate the positive impact our students have on others. We are very grateful for this generous gesture from The Hungry Rush whānau.
Kind regards,
Miss Wilson and the Rush Family
