Pukenui School – “a land of opportunities”

We are here:

“Teachers gather good quality student achievement information , which is shared

with students. This information is used by the students to reflect on their progress

and achievement, and report to their parents”

Education Review Office—Confirmed Education Review Report— 2014

2016 PUKENUI SCHOOLPUKENUI SCHOOL “A family/Whanau school”

“Students are able to enjoy a sense of belonging and realize their potential as

learners in an environment that supports their interests and needs. Care and

consideration has been given to resources and facilities that foster student

engagement both inside and outside the classroom. Students understand the

schools values and expectations, and demonstrate cooperative relationships with

their teachers and each other.”
