The programmes we deliver to students in years 7 & 8, are designed to cater to the needs and interests of these students at an important developmental stage in their lives. As young adolescents, we acknowledge the need to have an especially developed, engaging curriculum that fosters both high academic achievement and emotional intelligence in a creative, safe and open environment.

As young adolescents, we acknowledge the need to have an especially developed, engaging curriculum that fosters both high academic achievement and emotional intelligence in a creative, safe and open environment.
We build on the skills, interests and successes that the students have had in the previous years. We know our tamariki.
There are opportunities for students to develop leadership attributes as school seniors. We encourage students to take on roles of responsibility within the school and community and to be positive role models in all that they do.
We educate in an environment where students feel safe and where student individuality is encouraged and valued.
We promote interactions with other schools and give students opportunities to extend their peer group network.
We support our senior students individually, challenge them and expect them to take an active part in their own education.
Our seniors are supported and their emotional wellbeing and mental health is our priority - We CARE!
"Our son's time in Years 7 and 8 at Pāterangi School was an incredible experience that truly prepared him for high school. The small, close-knit environment allowed him to thrive both academically and socially, while the dedicated teachers provided personalised support to help him grow in confidence and ability. The strong focus on respect and responsibility created a nurturing atmosphere where he felt valued and motivated to do his best.
The opportunities for leadership, like mentoring younger students and participating in school-wide events such as 'House Wars', National Young Leaders Day, the Senior Ski Trip and Cross Country, gave him the chance to develop essential skills that will serve him well in the future. He left Pāterangi not only with a solid academic foundation but also with a deep sense of community, teamwork, and self-belief.
Pāterangi School is a special place where students are truly encouraged to flourish, and we are so grateful for the incredible start it has given our son. Thank you to the staff at Pāterangi School for preparing our son, so well for his College years."
