We are a vibrant country primary school located in the heart of the Roto-o-Rangi district, just a short drive from Cambridge.
Roto-o-Rangi means Lake of the Sky due to the very large, shallow roto/lake that existed here pre-European settlement. The large, flat surface of the roto reflected te rangi/the sky.
Our school is a mix of rural and town students from Years 1 to 6. As a school, we have a clear and strong Vision: Tuurangawaewae/Belonging, Mahi Tahi/Co-operation and Rerekeetanga/Innovation. A kura where tauira/students find a sense of belonging, work together and prepare for success in their future. We are a PB4L School, with a focus on positive behaviour centred around our three school values of Respect/Whakaute, Responsibility/Manawaroa and Resilience/Takohanga.
A school bus runs daily from Leamington Rugby Sports Club and a rural bus collects students from around the Roto-o-Rangi and Kairangi areas. We have ample parking available for families who drop off and collect their children, with Before and After School Care programmes operating daily.
At Roto-o-Rangi School, we combine country values with modern learning. We are committed to providing a positive, stimulating, enjoyable learning environment where your child is encouraged to 'Tuumanako Teitei Aim High' and reach their full potential. Our smaller size allows the relationships between students, teachers/ngaa kaiako, ngaa whaanau/families and peers to flourish. Kaiako can truly know the individual and get the best out of them.
Our high quality teaching staff provide stimulating, challenging and learner-centred teaching practices. They incorporate traditional, proven techniques with modern, innovative approaches to develop the strong foundations needed for our tamariki to thrive in an ever-changing future.
To find out more about us, please take your time to explore our site, visit our Facebook page or call in for a visit.
I look forward to personally meeting you and having you and your child/ren join our school community.
Ngaa mihi,
Wayne Donnellon - Principal

Dear parents,
Today I had the pleasure of showing Caron Purvis around the school, and her new classroom, Room 3.
Caron comes from Gisborne way, where she taught for a few years in a rural school before making the big move to the Waikato and doing a few years at Cambridge East.
We will miss Anna dearly but do look forward to Caron taking over the class in the last term.
The School Fun Run is BACK!
Lock the date in - Saturday 9th November.
The Roto PTA are busily planning another EPIC action-packed day of fun for the whole community!
Roto-o-Rangi students should already be signed up, as they have received the info already, but just in case, here's the link again HERE
Help us reach the target of $15,000 to go towards playground upgrades, including new swings!
Grandparents, whaanau and friends - ask your Roto child for their fundraising link so you can donate directly and help them to earn online badges and prizes!
More info will be shared as it is released.
Dear parents and caregivers,
At the start of next term we will be doing a Keeping Ourselves Safe unit as part of our Health programme in the school. I have included a link to the page which will give you information about the programme. As part of the programme a police officer will be coming in to talk to the children about being safe, staying safe and who to go to if they feel unsafe or are not sure. Please have a look at the programme so that you know what is coming up and don't get a surprise when the children come home talking about the police being in the classroom.
Please contact Mr D if you would like to discuss this any further.
Parents, please support our local businesses
