Tēnā koutou!
It is my privilege to welcome you to Motupipi School.
With approximately 80-90 students, we are a great-sized school. Our tamariki enjoy spacious grounds surrounded by mature trees. We have a heated swimming pool, playground, court, multi purpose room, extensive library collection and a school garden. We participate in many environmental, sporting, cultural and Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) opportunities – making the most of our outdoor and local surroundings as much as possible.
Whānau involvement is high in all aspects of schooling, with parents, family and community members providing excellent support for the school. The Staff and School Board at Motupipi School are committed to providing students with high-quality education that coincides with our school vision of;
Making a Difference Together
Our curriculum provides opportunities for excellence not only in academics, but also in sporting, environmental and recreational activities. We take advantage of learning opportunities as they arise and utilise the outdoor environment as much as possible.
It is a real privilege to be a part of such a vibrant school community where there is always something exciting happening. If you would like to learn more, please get in touch with me, or stop by and say ‘Kia Ora!.’
The Staff and School Board at Motupipi School are committed to ensuring a localised, high-quality curriculum, supported by the school vision of Making a Difference Together and our School Values of Respect, Resilience, Responsibility and Connections.
