Nau mai, Haere me - Welcome to Ahipara School

Welcome to Ahipara School, nestled in the heart of Ahipara, where we are surrounded by nature’s rich resources – the sea, river, and mountain. Our curriculum is deeply enriched by these natural wonders, weaving local culture and stories into lessons to meet the unique needs of each individual and foster success for all.

At Ahipara School, we focus on developing resilience and responsibility in our tamariki. We are proud to be a Positive Behaviour For Learning (PB4L) school, where students are recognised for demonstrating our core values: manaakitanga (kindness), respect, tikanga (how we do things at Ahipara), and perseverance. These values are integrated into daily life, supporting a positive and encouraging learning environment from Year 0 to Year 8. We have a specialist classroom designed to meet special learning and developmental needs and support their growth through play and practical activities.  Sport, outdoor education, the arts and the use of Te Reo Māori are strong in our school with an open door policy for whānau to come alongside.

Join us at Ahipara School, where the beauty of the land meets a commitment to excellence in education, shaping the future of our tamariki, one step at a time.
