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

Kia ora e te whaanau,
We have compiled stationery packs to suit the needs of each class, and to see our students through the majority of the year without running out of supplies.
We have ordered enough packs for every child starting in Term 1. These are being delivered directly to school, so you don't need to order them yourself or pay additional postage costs. Packs will be handed out by classroom teachers during the first few days at school, so please make payment into the school account before Tuesday 28th January.
Please take note of the cost of your child's pack, below, and deposit the correct amount into the school account using 'Stationery' and your child's name as a reference. The school bank account number is 02-0316-0126443-000.
If your child needs a new book bag please add $5 to your deposited amount. Your child will be invited to choose from the range of colours we have available. They are welcome to use their book bag from last year if it is still in good condition, or one that you have purchased elsewhere.
Our classes for 2025 are as follows;
Room 1 - Mrs Tessa Goldsman (year 0/1) $31.50 (add $5 for book bag if needed)
Room 3 - Mrs Liezel Tregoweth (year 2) $36.00 (add $5 for book bag if needed)

January 2025 Block Swimming Courses
To be held by Robina Cummins at Roto-o-Rangi School Pool
Block 1: January 13 - January 16
Block 2: January 20 - January 23
Cost is $80 per block per child (with the exception of the youngest group( 4-5 y) which will be $60 per block per child as they will have a slightly shorter lesson. ie 20 minutes in contrast to 30 minutes for the older children.)
The lessons will be within the time-frame 8.00am - 11.00 am.
For best results Robina encourages the swimmers to come to both blocks .
All swimmers are requested to wear suitable swim togs, a cap and goggles.
Robina has a history of more than ten years of helping students from Roto-o-Rangi School with their swimming, as an adjunct to the excellent swimming they do with their teachers during term.
Robina appreciates this opportunity and looks forward to meeting some new young swimmers.
