Nau mai haere mai ki te kura o Patumahoe

Patumahoe School is a large semi-rural primary school situated in the attractive village of Patumahoe, 10 kilometres northwest of Pukekohe in the Franklin District of Auckland city. We are a contributing school so we educate pupils between Years 1-6. The majority of our leavers go on to Pukekohe Intermediate.

The school was established in 1866 and boasts attractive and spacious grounds with large mature native trees, hard court areas, playing fields, a covered heated swimming pool and three adventure playgrounds.

The school has a Ministry enrolment policy in place to monitor and control roll growth.

We offer a Before School and After School Care Programme, which is run by a private business called KAS (Kids After School).

We are a very active, involved school that achieves a very high standard in academic, arts and sporting activities. Our parent partnership is very strong and we encourage all our families to be actively involved with their child’s learning.

I feel both proud and privileged to lead this outstanding primary school and the amazing professionals that make up the team here. We aim to deliver the best possible education for your child in an inclusive and vibrant setting, where each child is given the opportunity to flourish both as a learner but also as an individual.

Our Vision and Values

Our school values reflect our dual heritage as citizens of Aotearoa NZ and what our people believe is important for our children to grow and develop and for our school to treasure and sustain. Respect, Responsibility, Honesty and Courage our traditional values can also be seen through te ao Maori concepts of Manaakitanga, Kaitiakitanga, Whanaungatanga, and Kotahitanga.

We strongly believe in the importance of showing manaaki or respect, honesty, kindness and tolerance to one another, kaitiakitanga is our collective responsibility as caretakers of Patumahoe School to protect our traditional values, our environment, and our people. With this responsibility also comes courage. Whanaungatanga or belonging is about us ensuring that relationships are kept strong and that when you are a part of our school you will always belong here. Finally kotahitanga which for us is unity and the real strength of our school. Working together for shared goals.

Patumahoe School Production. “A teary tale of fairy fails”

Mon Nov 14 01:19pm

Dear Parents.


This week is definitely exciting for the kids! It is of course Production week and the kids are amped to give you a performance you will hopefully be proud of. Here is the logistical for parents of the children taking part and also for all of you in general should you wish to come and watch. 


The performances start on Tuesday 15th November. Children taking part should already have costumes and props at school. They are to be responsible for them until we are concluded on Thurs night. Then all costumes/props can go home.


For the evening performances the process is similar. Kids need to be in school at 5.20pm and report straight to their classrooms on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. We will all meet in the hall at 5.40pm. Doors open at 5.50pm. If your child has seen the show (Junior & Middle school get to watch on Tuesday) then please arrange to have them stay at home for evening performances if possible. This helps with seating should we get lots of you along.


The show is approx 90 – 110 minutes long. We ask that you come into the school and grab your children from outside their classrooms at the conclusion please so that teachers know they have gone home safely. Evening performances finish at 7.30pm approx (probably a little later). 


There is no ticketing system and seats cannot be reserved by parents. 


Here are the Performance dates and times again. 
Tuesday 15th November. Tech rehearsal 9am – 10.30am. 
Dress Rehearsal (For Junior School). 12.30pm – 2pm.



Wednesday 16th November. Evening show. 6pm – 7.30pm. (Open to the public)

BOT announcement: PLAYGROUND!!!!

Thu Sep 29 12:31pm

We’ve got some exciting news!  The school board is pleased to announce the replacement of the senior playground (adjacent to the swimming pool).  This work has been several years in the making and will be a welcome upgrade.  Requiring significant investment of over $200k, the work includes full drainage works to help avoid muddy clothes coming home! This work has been made possible with the support from the School PTA who have contributed a significant portion of the playground (in part due to a very successful Calf Club!), and the support from the Pelorus Trust.  The design work has been completed, with work scheduled to start in December, with all going to plan, ready for Term 1 2023!  The board will also look to making some improvements to junior playground in the near future.  The board thanks the PTA and Pelorus Trust for their support.
