Welcome to Arohanui
We hope you enjoy looking around our website where you will find information about our school, our students and our learning community. Arohanui is a special place where all learners are valued, included and celebrated...
We had a fantastic end to term 2 with our senior school umu in celebration of our stories of the pacific theme study. The day resulted in some delicious food, a brillant performance by our Bruce McLaren students and a great turnout by our families.
This amazing day would not have been possible without the help of our wonderful school staff and families. A huge THANK YOU goes to the group of people who turned up at 6.00 am in the winter morning dark, to prepare the umu, light the fire and cook the food, ready for everyone to eat for a delicious lunch.
Thank you Westie Pies
One of our teachers, Ellen Buith, has won $1000 through a competition held by Westie Pies. She and her Rutherford 3 class were presented with the 'cheque' by representatives of the Auckland Blues team.The money will go towards sports equipment. Thank you Westie Pies and the Blues!
Our Powhiri Welcome to New Families
On Friday 4 March we held our Powhiri welcome to new families for 2016 at Base School. It was lovely to see so many families attend. Thanks to the Taonga Nui group for their wonderful performance, and to our Kaumatua, Billy Retimana for his support for this event.
