About Naenae School
Welcome to Naenae School, an integral thread in the fabric of our Lower Hutt suburb with a heartfelt commitment to education rooted deeply within its Māori culture.
Our esteemed principal, Murray Bootten, guides us through this educational journey. Under his leadership, Naenae School has become more than just an institution; it's a community where diversity is celebrated and learning knows no gender boundaries—as evidenced by our co-educational environment.
With approximately 349 students from various backgrounds enrolled in the school, Naenae School stands as a beacon of inclusivity. The student body reflects an appreciation for multiculturalism with nearly half identifying as Māori and over one-quarter hailing from Pacific Islander heritage—a testament to our vibrant community spirit.
Nestled in the heart of Wellington, Naenae School is more than its physical address on Wheatley Street; it's a place where tradition and modern education converge. As part of New Zealand’s state school system, we proudly contribute to shaping future leaders who respect their heritage while embracing global perspectives.
