OUR VALUES...Empathy Mana Integrity RespectDiversity Inclusion Ambition


THE SCHOOL AND COMMUNITYKoputaroa School (est. 1891) is a beautiful rural school located approximately 7 km north of Levin (New Zealand) between SH 1 and SH 57. We are a full primary, decile 6 school with a roll that fluctuates between 160 – 180.

Koputaroa is the name of the local settlement and in Maori it means Breast of the Albatross. This name refers to the heavy fog that fills the valley, and from the hill near the Marae, looks like the breast of an albatross. Koputaroa was originally called Kereru and the school’s emblem is of a Kereru.

Koputaroa once boasted a dairy, railway station, hall and dairy factory. Remaining now are the school, hall (now situated alongside the school) and double railway tracks – Koputaroa is still frequently used as a bypass for the trains along this busy main trunk line.

For a rural school we have a large dedicated and committed staff: Principal, 7 teachers (including an AP and DP), full time Office Manager, two Teacher Aides, two release teachers, part-time caretaker, cleaner and two bus drivers.

Children at our school enjoy a large field, playground, trampolines and a number of established trees that the children are allowed to climb. Three of our trees are protected and recorded in the Notable Trees Trust.

At our school we place a huge emphasis on quality learning and teaching and firmly believe in the principles of formative practice – children being actively involved in the learning and teaching process. Our staff are very committed to providing our children with the best possible learning experiences and children enjoy a collaborative, supportive, engaging and motivational learning environment.

be confident, independent learners

be self-motivated and self-managing

be inquisitive, creative learners who take risks and can problem solve

2013 Annual Achievement Targets:1) To increase the number of girls achieving At or Above the National Standard by the end of 2013. When compared to the number of girls who had achieved At or

Above the National Standard in 2012 and reducing the number who had achieved Below or Well Below the National Standard in 2012.2) To increase the number of Maori students achieving At or Above the National Standard by the end of 2013. When compared to the number of Maori students
