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.

Hi everyone,
We want to share a quick update to keep our school community informed and healthy. We’ve recently been made aware of a few cases of scabies within our school family.
While the word "scabies" can sound a bit daunting, please don't worry! It’s a very common skin condition—much like head lice—and it has nothing to do with personal hygiene. It’s simply a tiny itch that likes to travel, and we want to make sure it doesn't overstay its welcome.
What to Look For
Scabies is caused by tiny mites that burrow under the skin. The main things to watch out for are:
Intense itching, which often feels much worse at night.
Small, pimple-like bumps or tiny blisters.
Thin, wavy lines (burrows) on the skin, often found between fingers, on wrists, or around the waist.
What to Do
If you notice your child scratching more than usual:
Visit your GP: A doctor can quickly confirm if it’s scabies and provide a medicated cream that clears it up effectively.
Home Care: Once treatment starts, it’s a good idea to wash bedding, towels, and recently worn clothes in hot water (60°C) to make sure those pesky mites are gone for good.
Stay Home Briefly: To keep everyone comfortable, children should stay home until 24 hours after their first treatment is completed.
Our goal is simply to keep you "in the loop" so we can all stay itch-free and focused on learning! Thank you for your continued support in keeping our classrooms healthy.

We have an action-packed start to next week at Coroglen School, and we wanted to share some details so the students are ready for the fun.
???? Monday: A Special Olympic Guest

The excitement continues on Tuesday with professional skateboard lessons for the students. This is a fantastic opportunity for them to learn new skills, build confidence, and have a go in a safe, supervised environment.
