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 are always at the centre of our everyday life and our staff work hard to offer a range of opportunities to make school life for our students as engaging and exciting as possible.

Students, staff and whānau are immensely proud of our school!
