About Owhango School
Nestled in the heart of Owhango, New Zealand lies an educational gem known as Owhango School, a full-primary co-educational state school that prides itself on its diverse and inclusive community. Situated along the picturesque Ohorere Street within this vibrant suburb in Manawatū-Whanganui, our roll size of approximately 65 students creates an intimate learning environment where each child can thrive.
Owhango School, with its unique blend of cultures and traditions—45% Māori representation among the student body alongside a significant European/Pākehā presence at 52% —embodies New Zealand's rich cultural tapestry. Our school is dedicated to fostering respect for all heritages, with an emphasis on embracing and celebrating our shared values of manaakitanga (kindness) and whanaungatanga (kinship).
Annalies Rensink, the principal at Owhango School, guides us as a leader who understands that education is not just about academic achievement but also about personal growth. Under her leadership, we continue to uphold our commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience for every student.
