[ Oakura school ]Life at Oakura School is busy, vibrant and full of opportunities for our students to learn, grow and connect with others.
Our school has a strong sense of community where relationships matter and students feel a genuine sense of belonging. We believe that learning happens not only in the classroom but also through the many experiences that help children develop confidence, friendships and a love of being involved.
Students at Oakura School enjoy a wide range of opportunities throughout the year including sports events, cultural celebrations, outdoor education experiences, camps, performances and community activities. These experiences help build teamwork, resilience and leadership while creating lasting memories for our tamariki.
Our location near the coast and surrounded by beautiful natural environments provides unique opportunities for learning beyond the classroom. Activities such as beach clean ups, environmental projects and outdoor learning help students develop an appreciation for the natural world and their role as kaitiaki of the environment.
We also value the importance of student leadership and encourage our older students to take on roles where they support younger learners and contribute positively to school life. Through these opportunities students develop responsibility, confidence and pride in their school.
Above all, Oakura School is a place where students feel safe, supported and encouraged to take part, try new things and celebrate their successes.
Together, these experiences create a rich and rewarding school life where our students are encouraged every day to Be Our Best.
