Poukawa School

Poukawa School Motto:

"Ma te huruhuru ka rere te manu"

"Give me wings … watch me fly"

Our goal is to help all our students “fly” by providing a holistic education that equips students with the skills, attitudes and knowledge to succeed at school and later on in life.

At Poukawa School, students, staff and our school community work hard to reach this goal by living out our school values of 'Exploration, Determination, Manaakitanga and Tiakitanga'.

Students, staff and whānau are immensely proud of our school

Principal's Welcome

Nau mai, haere mai, welcome to our wonderful kura. It is my absolute privilege to be the Principal and lead the exceptional team here at Poukawa School.

Our tamariki bring positivity, energy, and a love of learning to our kura each day, making it a truly special place to be. We are guided by our vision of empowering students to be their best and relationships are at the centre of our school.

Our experienced staff are committed to the learning in their classroom, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our tamariki. We provide warm, welcoming learning environments and a supportive culture where every child feels a strong sense of belonging.

At Poukawa School, we nurture individual strengths and encourage each learner to grow with confidence throughout their learning journey with a focus on our School values.

I encourage you all to come in and spend time in our special place. You will get a chance to see for yourself just how lucky we are to be here.
