WELCOME TO PONGAKAWA SCHOOL 

kuhu mai ki te ako, haere ki te awhi
​enter to learn, go forth to serve
Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kura o Pongakawa.
Pongakawa School is more than a place of learning - it’s a second home where students, staff and whānau feel a deep sense of belonging.
As a full primary school (Years 1–8), we nurture, motivate and challenge our learners to engage in meaningful learning and develop the skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
At Pongakawa, students experience success, build confidence, and have a lot of fun along the way. 
Whether you're current whānau, a prospective parent, or a visitor wanting to learn more, we invite you to explore our website and discover what makes Pongakawa School such a special place to be.​​
