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.

Karlos Bosson - Principal
Dear Parents and Whānau,
As the saying goes, you can’t beat a good autumn downpour—but you can certainly reschedule around it! Since the weather wasn't exactly on our side last Friday, we have moved our school assembly to a new slot this week.
Assembly Details
When: This Thursday, April 2
Time: 2:30 PM
Where: Coroglen School
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!
We look forward to seeing you there for a great afternoon of celebration.
Warm regards,
The School Team
Kia ora whānau,
In the first week back after the school holidays, we have a scheduled visit to the museum to learn about ANZAC Day. This is a special opportunity for our students to honour those who fought bravely for our country and those they protected.
Trip Details:
Date: Wednesday 22nd April
Junior Session: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Senior Session: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Departure: We (Junior and senior students) aim to leave school by 12:30 pm.
Important Information:
Because the Junior session ends at 2:00 pm, our Junior students will finish school early that day.
Transport & Parent Help:
To make this trip possible, we need your support with transport. As per our usual safety requirements, any younger students travelling in private vehicles must provide their own booster seat.
If you are available to assist with transportation, please let us know within the next two weeks so we can finalise arrangements. Please email hope@coroglen.school.nz directly if you can help with transport.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our kura and for helping us create these meaningful learning experiences for our tamariki.
Ngā mihi,
Coroglen School staff
Kia ora te whānau o Coroglen School,
The Board has been working hard to develop a new 3-Year Strategic Plan (2026–2028) to guide our school forward. We are excited about the direction we are heading, but we need your voice to ensure this plan truly reflects the aspirations of our community.
Our Proposed Strategic Goals: We have identified three key areas to focus on over the next three years:
Curriculum Excellence & Capability: Implementing the new New Zealand Curriculum while keeping our unique "Coroglen" identity at the heart of learning.
Thriving Learners & Equity: Using better assessment and reporting systems to partner with you in your child’s learning journey.
Strengthening Student Attendance: Building a culture where every child is present, engaged, and ready to learn.
We Need Your Feedback Does this sound like the right direction for our tamariki? Are there other priorities you think we should consider?
Please take a moment to review the draft plan https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cMyyx9VQ3Sk7asjIExbk2CA_O6COBsUtIO50v8kAHHg/edit?tab=t.0
If you have any feedback, questions, or ideas, please email our Principal, Karlos Bosson, at principal@coroglen.school.nz.
Your input is invaluable in helping us create the best possible environment for our children.
Ngā mihi nui,
The Coroglen School Board
