About Whakarewarewa School
Welcome to Whakarewarewa School, nestled in the heart of Rotorua within Bay of Plenty.
At our full primary co-educational school on Sala Street, we embrace a diverse student body with deep cultural roots. With approximately 124 students enrolled, including many Māori youths who make up around 81% of the community, Whakarewarewa School is proud to be deeply intertwined with local heritage and values.
Under the leadership of Principal Boxer Smith, we offer a nurturing environment where every child'thoughtfulnessis valued. Our school reflects our commitment to inclusivity as well as academic excellence in line with New Zealand state education standards.
Whakarewarewa School is not just an institution; it’s part of a community that cherishes its Māori identity and the rich traditions passed down through generations. As students learn within these walls, they are also immersed in experiences that connect them to their ancestry while preparing for life beyond school.
