Coroglen School is a small, rural primary school in Coroglen, Aotearoa, catering to students from Year 1 to Year 8. Our school has a long rich history, founded with the Gumtown settlement in the late 19th Century, and has been serving the community ever since.
We focus on creating a supportive and welcoming environment where every student can reach their full potential. Our students work hard, show social responsibility, and have a strong connection to their community. We have two classrooms with excellent teacher-student ratios and teacher aide support. Currently we have a roll of 16 students, which ensures a whānau-like atmosphere.
We care deeply about the well-being of our students. We use trauma-informed practices, follow the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) framework, Ka Ora, Ka Ako - Healthy School Lunches Programme and have a team of caring staff to support our students. We are well supported by our wonderful Learning Support Coordinator and Resource Teacher: Learning and Behaviour service (RTLB). We ensure that every student feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.
Our curriculum emphasises environmental education, guided by the Enviroschools kaupapa. We teach our students to care for the environment and encourage them to take positive actions in their community. Through programs like Garden to Table and Trees for Survival, students learn about sustainability and conservation, gaining skills that help them protect our natural world.
Our students aim for high standards in literacy, numeracy, science, and technology. They consistently achieve their goals, showing dedication and benefiting from the effective teaching provided by our committed staff.
Community is important at Coroglen School. Our students take part in local events, environmental projects, and service activities, which help them build leadership skills and a sense of responsibility toward their community.
We use modern technology and innovative teaching methods to enhance learning. Our students learn how to use digital tools effectively, preparing them for the future. We also celebrate diversity and teach cultural awareness, ensuring that every student feels respected and included.
We are very proud of our students and are dedicated to supporting their growth. At Coroglen School, we believe in helping every student become a confident, capable, and caring member of society.
We look forward to meeting you soon.

This year, we're incredibly fortunate to continue to provide healthy lunches for all our students. And while the funding landscape for 2025/2026 is shifting, we're thrilled to share some exciting news about how we're ensuring our lunch program remains both nutritious and affordable.
A Recipe for Success: Nutritious and Cost-Effective
Our amazing chef, Rice, has been working tirelessly to design a menu that not only meets the new funding requirements but also tantalizes taste buds and fuels young minds. I've been so impressed with the beautiful kai coming out of our kitchen – it's a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach!
To help keep costs down without compromising quality, we've partnered with Gilmours for some of our weekly grocery deliveries. This allows us to access a wider range of ingredients at competitive prices. We’ll also continue to source fresh produce and other products from Woolworths and New World, and we're especially excited to team up with local producers for seasonal vegetables whenever possible. Supporting local businesses is a win-win!
Confidence in Our Kitchen: Delicious Meals on Time
I have complete confidence in Rice's ability and skill to create student meals that are not only delicious and nutritious but also within budget. The effort and love that goes into each dish is truly remarkable. Rice is passionate about creating food that is visually appealing, healthy, and provides the energy our students need to thrive.
We're incredibly proud of the meals we serve – they’re always on time and look fantastic, even before they’re devoured! This is especially important considering the challenges we’ve been hearing about in the media regarding late lunches from external providers. It's concerning to hear that some schools have had to resort to pies and wraps while those providers work through their “teething issues.” At Coroglen, we’re committed to providing consistent, high-quality meals every day.
A Plea to Parents: Encourage Your Child to Try It!
We encourage you to talk to your child about the delicious meals being prepared in our onsite kitchen. We know that sometimes kids can be hesitant to try new things, but we’re confident that once they taste Rice's creations, they’ll be hooked! The variety and quality are truly impressive, and we want all our students to benefit from this fantastic program.
Thank you: A huge thank you to Rice for their dedication and hard work. She is an integral part of our school community, and we are so lucky to have her!
