Welcome to Rongotea School

Tēnā Koutou,

My name is Troy Anderson and I'm proud to lead the team here at Rongotea School. We are a rural school of 155 pupils in the heart of the Manawatu. We have eight amazing classrooms and a wonderful supportive community, an active Board of Trustees and a hard working PTA.

​If you're considering us as a school for your child, please drop by, email me at principal@rongotea.school.nz or phone ​06 324 8614​.

Here at Rongotea School, we are very proud of the fantastic facilities we have. We have plenty of space to run around, play rugby, cricket, swim in our school pool, play tennis, bike on our bike track, exercise on our fitness track or play on our playgrounds.

We are currently focusing on developing a localised curriculum, this curriculum is developed to suit all learners at Rongotea School.

We have co-constructed classrooms, children setting student learning goals and next learning steps. It's important that each student knows what their learning goal is and what they can do to become successful life long learners. 

Welcome

Team Moa Reminders
15 Oct 2025

Good afternoon, 

Here are a couple of reminders about events over the next few days.  

This evening, Wednesday 15 October, there is the parents meeting with our police liaison officer about the Keeping Ourselves Programme we will be covering this term. This meeting is at 6pm in Team Kiwi.  

Tomorrow, Thursday 16 October, we will be making our aqua jars for Ag Day. Each child will need a jar and a flower to put inside it. If anyone is able to send along extra flowers for children who don't have any, that would be much appreciated.  

This Friday is Ag Day. Students with animals should come to school with their animal. Students who are not bringing an animal should be at school as usual.

Indoor Exhibits
15 Oct 2025

Afternoon all, 

This afternoon we chatted about the Aqua Jar we are creating tomorrow in the classroom as one of our indoor exhibits for ag day. 

Students will need to bring a glass jar with a water tight lid. They will also need a flower to put inside. We will create them in the classroom and then take them over to the hall. All other exhibits need to be in the hall either tomorrow before school or after school. The hall will be open. 

Ag day is Friday so be sure to come down and have a look if you can. Prizegiving is usually around 1pm. 

Students also bought home a fire safety pamphlet last night. We have been talking about safety and what to do in a fire. If you could look at it with them (if you haven't already) and talk about smoke alarms and your safety plan that would be awesome. Please ensure they come back tomorrow as we will be doing some work in them tomorrow. 

Thanks,

Jess
