Welcome to Awanui School where we endeavour to provide the best education and care for your child. We encourage our children to be resourceful, independent and enjoy coming to school. Awanui School is a place for all the whānau and we value your support for our school. We cater for students from Year 1 to Year 6.  

We have small, well-resourced classes. Our teachers keep up to date with professional development to ensure the delivery of quality programmes. Children’s learning needs are indentified early and extra assistance is put in place when needed. Our teacher aide and volunteer helpers do an excellent job caring for the learning and welfare needs of our children.

Our school utilises digital technologies with Years 1-2 using iPads and Years 3-6 working with 1:1 Chromebooks. Our goal is for each child to have their own device to work on while at school. As well as this all classrooms have interactive boards that help make lessons engaging and relevant for 21st Century learners.

We promote exercise and healthy eating. We recieve fruit in school as well as food from Kids Can. Our school is a part of the Ka Ora Ka Ako - Healthy Lunches in Schools programme which our tamariki benefit from daily. Our children exercise regularly and have many opportuniies to participate in sporting events.

Our Board of Trustees work hard to ensure the school is governed well and are very supportive of our staff here at Awanui School. We work closely alongside our iwi, Ngai Takoto. We value learning, making and keeping friends, fun and definitely the families who belong to our Awanui community. 

We are a small school with a big heart.
