Mangatangi School is a rural U3, full primary School, currently employing 5 teachers and 3 full time Support Staff with a funded roll of 100 students.

 The Mangatangi district is a dairy, beef and sheep farming area approximately 32 kilometres from Pukekohe and 40 kilometres from Thames.  The pupil catchment area is within a 20km radius.  The diversity of the people, both rural and urban adds to the quality of school life.

A  large majority of students travel to school by bus which is a service provided by a local operator. With our rural flavour we provide a country atmosphere with city convenience.

The Board of Trustees and our Home and School group provide additional funding over and above the Ministry allowance as part of their commitment to providing additional support and the best learning opportunities for our students. This support is on-going enabling purchasing of equipment to support learning. Our Senior classes have 1 to 1 devices provided.

Together we work to ensure that programmes are in place promoting the environment, sustainability, citizenship, enterprise and globalisation. Children will increasingly become aware of their place in society and the role they play in shaping our future.

As a Rights Respecting School students gain an understanding of their basic human rights and what needs to be done to uphold these. 

This includes gaining the understanding that with rights comes responsibility and that we all have a role to play when it comes to protecting our rights not only now but in years to come.
