WELCOME TO PĀTOKA SCHOOL
Tenā koutou nga whanau me nga tamariki,

Pātoka School is located at the foothills of the Kaweka Ranges, nestled among Sheep & Beef and Dairy farming country. We are approximately 35 minutes from Napier City through stunning scenery. Our amazing students are supported by a dedicated team of Teachers and Support Staff, with a future focused Board of Trustees and an supportive rural community.

Pātoka School has three modern classrooms: Mrs Field is our Principal and we have three teachers. Miss Chaplin teaches the Year 0-2 students, Mr Tolley teaches the Year 3 & 4s, and Mrs van Rooyen the Year 5-8s. At Pātoka School our students are Honest, Confident, Respectful and Resilient learners. We teach through an integrated curriculum, seeking student voice on what and how they like to learn. We offer students a range of opportunities to shine in different areas including academic, sporting, EOTC and leadership. Our picturesque school grounds provide ample room for adventurous children to explore and take risks.

Our doors are always open so please, feel free to come in and discuss your child’s learning, or call in to learn more about Pātoka. We look forward to meeting you and your child.
