Extra Opportunities

Experience Learning Beyond the Classroom

At Ngākuru School, we offer a wide range of EOTC (Education Outside the Classroom) opportunities. Our students enjoy hands-on learning through exciting adventures and real-world experiences. Explore some of the recent activities our tamariki have been part of in the photo gallery below. 

We are passionate about our sport and field several hockey teams. We have had a number rep players chosen for Rotorua/Bay. Our students also enjoy playing club rugby, netball, cricket and soccer. We have a tri-schools arrangement with both Upper Atiamuri School and Horohoro School, and get together for sporting fixtures several times a year. Our children qualify for and compete at CBOP events such as Cross Country, Athletics and Swimming. The whole school attends and participates in the Mini Marathon in Rotorua each year. This year we also held a Colour Run and have been invited to join Otonga School for the Weetbix TRYathlon in term 3. All of our Year 7 and 8's have the opportunity to go to AIMS Games in Tauranga each year.

We take part in Rotomaths, EPro8 and anything else that we believe will challenge and excite our children! Ngakuru school hosts the Jack te Nahu speech competition each year. We hold an annual Pumpkin Roll, a long-standing tradition in the Ngakuru community.
