Welcome to Frankton School, an educational cornerstone nestled in Dinsdale on Massey Street within Hamilton’s thriving Waikato region. Our state-run contributing school boasts a diverse and inclusive environment where approximately 683 students from various backgrounds come together for their learning journey under the guidance of our dedicated principal, Kirsten Ratana.
Frankton School prides itself on its co-educational approach to fostering an understanding that education does not distinguish between genders and is vital in preparing young minds for a balanced worldview. The rich cultural tapestry within the student community reflects our commitment, with 43% Māori students contributing vibrant perspectives alongside their peers of European/Pākehā descent representing 24%. This blend enriches classroom discussions and projects by bringing together a spectrum of experiences.
The school's ethos is deeply rooted in the values that we believe are fundamental to personal growth: respect, responsibility, honesty, integrity, compassion, courage, faith, self-esteem, teamwork, perseverance, creativity and enterprise. As students navigate through these core principles at Frankton School, they not only develop academically but also become well-rounded individuals ready to contribute positively to society in the Waikato region or beyond.
