Oropi School

Summary

We are a semi-rural full primary school within close proximity to Tauranga city (within 13km). We can offer a wide range of educational opportunities and programmes from year 0 - 8, enabling all children to opt in to experiences that will broaden their educational experiences. We pride ourselves on the way in which we cater for individual needs. We endeavour to foster a culture of inclusiveness for all, where all children feel they are part of a team with the opportunities for mixed age group interaction. Our senior students help foster this sense of togetherness through their leadership programme and daily interaction with the junior and middle school.
