About Putorino School
Welcome to Putorino School, a vibrant and nurturing educational environment nestled in the heart of Hawke's Bay on Waikare Road.
As we embrace our co-educational approach at Putorino School, where boys and girls learn together from Year 1 to 6, fostering a sense of community is paramount. Our small class sizes with approximately 19 students per roll allow for personalized attention and the development of strong relationships between staff and pupils.
Putorino School takes pride in its foundation as part of New Zealand's state education system, upholding our commitment to providing quality learning experiences that prepare all children well. Our principal, Anna Drinkrow, leads with dedication and visionary guidance for the entire school community.
Set against picturesque surroundings in Putorino Suburb, we offer a unique educational experience where students are encouraged to explore their environment while embracing our core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, empathy, courage, and resilience. Here at Putorino School, children not only learn but also grow into confident young individuals ready for the world ahead.
