Welcome to
TE AROHA
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Educating children for their futures, today
Welcome to Te Aroha Primary School where children from Year 1 to 8 are challenged to be the best that they can be in an inclusive learning environment.
Situated in the heart of Te Aroha and nestled under the mountain on a 4.6 hectare campus, our children have a sense of belonging, pride and are valued in their cultural heritage.
We always encourage our children “To Accept The Challenge” which is our school motto. This is the challenge to learn, to explore, to have a go at new opportunities and to have fun.
We invite you to join us on this journey.

Please do not ask what time your child’s race will be as we have no way of knowing. It all depends on how long the race in front takes to run and what the weather is like on the day.
No children are permitted to leave before the end of the whole event ie: the finish of the last race. Then children are free to go once you have spoken with the class teacher.
Adults will be seated in the area by the concrete ramp. Please do not go over to where your child is sitting as this makes crowd control difficult.
If it is wet we will try to run it on Thursday 18th August.

Learning Conversations Term 3 2022
Fri Jul 08 03:24pmKia ora parents and whānau.
Our ‘Learning Conversations’ are coming up in Term 3, Wednesday 3 August. We are doing things differently this year. We have made the decision to roll these out over an entire day rather than over a few afternoons and evenings as had been done in the past.
The reason for this change is to provide the widest possible range of times for parents and whānau to meet with teachers.
We want EVERY child in the school to have a learning conversation that day. Our preference is for the conversation to be in person, however in exceptional circumstances we can make provision for a zoom meeting or a telephone call.
We appreciate that for a small number of families this may cause an unmanageable situation re: child care for the day. In this instance we will have our learning assistants onsite for the day and they will supervise those children in a classroom. For those children who do attend, their programme for the day will not be a normal school day programme, instead we will organize some alternative activities for them to do.
This is not an unusual approach to learning conversations with a number of schools trialing this approach. We will keep an open mind and review after the event.
We look forward to meeting with you all.Ngā mihi nui,Attached is the link to book your conversations with your child / children’s teachers.
