Principal's Welcome

Kia ora koutou and welcome to Ōtamarākau School.
It is a privilege to be part of this wonderful kura and community, where our tamariki are at the centre of everything we do. At Ōtamarākau School, we are more than just a school, we are a whānau. We value the strong relationships we build with our students, staff, whānau, and wider community, creating a warm and supportive environment where every child feels a true sense of belonging.
We are proud to provide a learning environment where tamariki are encouraged to grow in confidence, embrace new opportunities, and strive to be the very best version of themselves. Our dedicated staff work closely alongside whānau to nurture a love of learning while celebrating the unique strengths, culture, and identity of every child.
With strong connections to our local community and Ngāti Makino, we are passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences that reflect who we are and where we come from.
Whether through learning, sport, culture, leadership, or the arts, we want every child to feel valued, supported, and proud to be part of Ōtamarākau School.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our kura. We look forward to welcoming you into our school whānau.


​Mauri Ora
