Principal's Welcome

 
Nau mai. Haere mai. 
Welcome to Coroglen School

 

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.

We are especially excited to have our Year 3 through Year 8 students joining us. They will be arriving back from their "Great Overnight Escape" at Hot Water Beach just in time to share some of their camp highlights and rejoin the school community.

 
Easter Raffle Update
A massive thank you to all the parents and whānau who contributed items or sold tickets for our Easter Raffle. Your generosity ensures these extra-curricular experiences remain possible for our tamariki.

We will be drawing the lucky winners during the assembly this Thursday. Best of luck to everyone—we’ve got our fingers crossed for you!

ANZAC DAY SCHOOL TRIP - TERM 2!

Senior Session: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Warning: Mismatched Mayhem Incoming!
19 Mar 2026

Attention all Coroglen Cool Kids (and the weary adults who hunt for their laundry)!

Tomorrow, Friday, 20 March, we are celebrating Odd Socks Day. This is your official, golden-ticket invitation to finally give up the impossible search for "the other one" and embrace the chaos.

 

The Ground Rules (or Lack Thereof):

Participation is completly optional!!!: If you prefer your feet to be twins, that’s totally fine. But if you want them to be distant cousins who’ve never met, tomorrow is your day.

The Clashier, The Better: Polka dots with stripes? Neon green with muddy brown? A woolly winter sock paired with a thin summer liner? Yes.


So, dive deep into the bottom of that laundry basket and fish out those lonely socks. Let’s see who can create the most legendary foot-fiasco Coroglen has ever seen!

 

From the Coroglen Team.
