School Motif
Welcome to Ōpunakē Primary, where we provide a nurturing and supportive environment for students to grow and thrive. Our school proudly features a unique motif, the Prow of the Canoe, which represents our journey through learning and life. The original design was created by Alan Love in 1991, and we have since adapted (with his permission) to represent our school values and identity with the help of our staff and a local graphic designer.

Our school values - Whānaungatanga, Ako, Kaitiakitanga and Aroha- are more than just words on paper. They are foundational pillars that define the way we work and learn together. We understand that creating a supportive and inclusive environment is not just the job of the teachers but also of the wider community. With this in mind, we have dedicated ourselves to implementing our values in everything we do, from planning curriculum to organizing extra-curricular activities.
Apple Distinguished School
We celebrate our teaching staff, who are passionate about creating truly engaging and inspiring learning experiences for our students. We recognise the value of a growth mindset and a school culture that supports our teachers as they design and implement innovative learning experiences. Our primary goal is to inspire students, involve them in unique learning experiences, and make learning both challenging and fun.
