Welcome

A Message from the Principal....

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Marewa School is located in Latham Street in Napier. We cater to the needs of approximately 220 wonderful students. Marewa has a lovely small school feel and we love parents to be part of the learning process. Both teachers and students strive to live up to our motto; 'To matou pai mo ake tonu atu'- Our Best Always. 

We have an emphasis on achieving the absolute best that each student can achieve, particularly in the core areas of Numeracy and Literacy, while still retaining an emphasis on fun. We maintain small class sizes to allow students to connect with the teacher regularly. 

All our students are involved in 3 hours of Te Reo Māori learning a week. This includes language, waiata, karakia and kapa haka.We believe in catering for the development of the whole child so aim to provide a range of sporting and cultural opportunities to allow everyone to shine. 

An important part of who we are is being an Enviro School. We are one of the few schools who are Green-gold status in Hawkes Bay. THis means we try to teach students about being Kaitiaki of the environment, living sustainably and growing and planting. 

All our teachers believe in making learning positive and fun so that children want to come to school. Please feel free to come and talk to me about our school and the opportunities that we offer. I am proud to be principal of Marewa School and am excited about the future of our vibrant school.
