At Ohakune Primary school we are committed to provide high-quality engaging education to foster development of the whole child.
We offer a wide range of opportunities unique to our area and programmes to expose learners to a wide range of sporting, academic and cultural experiences.
Ohakune Primary School is located at the base of Mt Ruapehu, which creates a school with one of the most breathtaking backdrops in New Zealand.
The school is well resourced and prides itself in providing an innovative approach to teaching and learning.
Snowsports is a large part of our Term 3 curriculum with every child learning how to ski or snowboard. As well as this opportunity, the school has a snowsports race team that compete at the North Island Primary School Championships.
Being part of a small community, as a school we pride ourselves in our connection to the community and the iwi.
We invite you to peruse this site to learn more about our school. However, if you would like additional information we invite you to contact us.

Our Values "PRIDE: Participation, Respect, Integrity, Determination, Environment" are the foundation for creating an environment where our learners can feel connected and confident. We embrace the Tuakana Teina philosophy through our House and School-wide Ambassador, House Captains and Mediator opportunities, which alongside our learning programmes, actively nurture our younger learners while simultaneously cultivating a sense of working in teams, taking responsibility, growing leadership and community among our senior learners (Matoiahiko). The PB4L approach guides our behavioural expectations within the school. We have a desire to create a sense of Hauoro in all our learners, ensuring they feel connected and confident.

Kia ora whānau,
Here are our upcoming kapa haka practice times and key dates:
If your child is part of the kapa haka group, they should have brought home a notice with information about the festival and a permission slip.
For anyone who missed practice today, we’ll send out extra copies of the notice tomorrow.
Please ensure your child returns their permission slip by Friday 7th November so they can attend the Raetihi Cultural Festival performance.
Ngā mihi tino nui,
Rene Allen
