Welcome to Ngākuru School - An Exciting, Motivating and Positive Learning Environment for all to excel in!
Ngakuru School is a vibrant, country, full-primary school. We offer education for Year 1-8 students. Our school is situated in stunning rural Ngakuru, nestled amongst dairy farms, very close to Rotorua. Our small class sizes and wide, open spaces are our biggest advantage!
Our school is well resourced, with a solar-heated swimming pool, rugby field, a new astroturf, library, adventure playgrounds, a native tree gully and school bus transport. We have access to the community hall next door.
We welcome all students.
