Welcome to Rawene School


Thank you for researching our school site.  Please enjoy reading about us and what we have to offer.  


Our rural school is situated in the historic township of Rāwene, and is fringed with magnificent views of the Hokianga Harbour.  We cater for 76 students from year 0-8.  Our school is a 'whānau' like context with dedicated and committed staff.  


I am on Study Leave for 34 weeks of 2024.  Our two senior kaiako will step into the role of Acting Principal.  Term 1 & 2: Matua Peter Penese and Term 3 & 4: Whaea Ati Ewens.
