Our Mission: To provide an inclusive, student-centered, and holistic education that empowers every learner with excellence in literacy, numeracy, and social emotional skills. We prepare our students to step confidently into the future they choose, deeply connected to their community and their whakapapa, knowing that "Ko Mōtū tōku tūrangawaewae"—Mōtū is their place to stand, where they are strong, at home, and belong 

Our Vision: To nurture active learners who adapt with resilience to a rapidly changing world; conscientious global citizens who are proud of their roots and equipped to reach their highest potential.

Our Motto: "Learning as we Grow"

Our motto honors the vision of the Mōtū founders who, in 1895, built this school with the materials at hand in a challenging landscape. Their resilience created a success story that has endured for over 130 years.

Parents wishing to enroll their child, may do so at any time prior to their child starting school. Our office administrator or principal will help you with this. 

You will be given an enrolment form, and a school handbook containing the up-to-date information. A copy of your child's birth certificate and immunisation record is needed. 

Visits- For all 5-year-old enrollments, school visits are required leading up to your child's first day. This will usually begin with half days then will lead into full days once your child is settled and ready. This can be changed to any day/time to suit children and their whanau.
