Welcome to our school blog. We have information about our school and the things we do, and the learning that is happening in Hoiho, Kea, and Pukeko classes. We are a rural primary school a short drive from Hokitika, on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

Our Years 5/6 students participated in the Clued-Up Kids event in Hokitika today. Clued-Up Kids is a targeted safety initiative organised by WestReap. There was a range of agencies involved and the children rotated between 8 workstations: Ag Safe Training, Animal Safety, NZ Police, Emergency Management, Community Public Health, St John, Rail Safety and Fire Safety.
What a great idea. Thank you, WestReap.
