[ OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW ]At Oakura School we believe that learning extends well beyond the classroom. Our students are encouraged to take part in a wide range of sporting, cultural and creative opportunities that help them develop confidence, teamwork and leadership.
Cultural opportunities are also an important part of our school community. Students can participate in activities such as kapa haka, performances, cultural celebrations and creative arts programmes. These experiences allow students to express themselves, develop confidence and celebrate the diverse cultures within our school. Our Year 4-8 students engage in a School Production every two years.
Our facilities and local environment provide wonderful opportunities for students to engage in a wide variety of activities. Students benefit from well-resourced learning spaces, playground areas, sports fields and access to our local beach and natural surroundings, which support outdoor learning and environmental experiences. Every second year, our Year 5-8 students take part in school camps.
Students at Oakura School are regularly encouraged to try new activities, discover their interests and develop skills that support them both in and beyond the classroom.
