About us..
Paterangi School is a decile 7 country school situated 8 minutes from Te Awamutu and 20 minutes from Hamilton, under the gaze of Mount Pirongia.
Paterangi is a country school that nurtures and supports students from their developmental years, into young adults. Many of our students travel each day from Te Awamutu because their parents want their children to experience the unique qualities that only a country school can provide, academic excellence with strong personal values, and committed community support. As a school we are very proud and protective of our “uniqueness.”
We work hard to ensure that all students are catered for and focused on learning to the best of their ability, socially, academically, personally, and culturally. Our students do extremely well at interschool sports events and achieve extremely well at college and university.
Students are immersed in an environment that places a high emphasis on becoming the best they can be, valuing ourselves, valuing other people, using initiative, and developing high order thinking skills.
Paterangi School also ensures that its students are prepared for the 21st century, keeping abreast of innovations in education and adapting so that our students become intelligent young adults with high personal values. Our school logo, designed by a respected local Maori artist symbolises what Paterangi School stands for. The Arms of the wharenui symbolise the strength / support we gather from each other as a community. This strength nurtures the values we hold within, academic excellence with strong personal values. The top of the wharenui symbolises our on-going commitment to strive towards higher goals at all times.
