WELCOME TO TE PUNA SCHOOL

We are a semi-rural school, located on the northern side of Tauranga. With our close proximity to the Wairoa River, Kaimai Ranges and Tauranga Moana we are perfectly situated in our own slice of paradise. Our school first opened its doors way back in 1896 and has been an integral part of the Te Puna community ever since. We invite you to browse our site and get a feel for the outstanding learning environment we are able to provide.

Show- New date for second performance

4 Dec 2025

We have set the date of MONDAY 15th DECEMBER - Gathering at 5:15pm for the second performance of our school production at the Quarry.

This will be the first opportunity that we have the whole school together again due to trips/ camps and other end of year events.

If you know that your child will not be present on the 15th, can you please communicate that to the class teacher so that they can juggle their class items accordingly.

Many thanks for your understanding

Show Postponed

AGHHH! The Quarry is very wet! Riverlets all over the show, roadside parking and navigating the terrain here is not going to work! Sorry - we are going to have to postpone the show afterall....more details will follow tomorrow. We are SO disappointed!

The Show Must Go On!

Dear Parents

Although we are expecting rain shortly, we are going to plan to go ahead with the show...bring a raincoat, just in case, but we are hoping that we will have enough of a break in the weather to perform.
