About Us

Manaia View School is a full primary for years 1-8 students, with a free bus, to service the school community. We provide value based programmes, with an onsite social worker, student counsellor and music therapy programmes to support students’ emotional needs.

Our school is dedicated to being inclusive of all tamariki,  providing the best learning outcomes and experiences to meet the individual needs of our students. The model of Te Whare Tapa Wha is woven throughout our curriculum and programmes, to strengthen our student`s health and wellbeing. Manaia View students are our Taonga, who we nurture while promoting their cultural identity and heritage.

2024 will see the start of many school building projects, to modernise our classrooms and provide innovative and creative areas for learning.  In the junior classrooms, extensive planning has gone into  developing a learning environment that, on completion, will have an indoor, outdoor flow with a sensory garden for students to care for, and play in. This will help New Entrants entering Manaia View School,  to have a smoother transition to school life.

At Manaia View we are proud of our rich Maori heritage and  our classes are focused on developing whanaungatanga and a sense of belonging.  Learning programmes are immersed in Te Parawhautanga, we have close ties to our local marae, Rerenga Paraoa and we include regular visits to support our learning.  Our daily taumata and kapa haka are important components in developing our cultural identity and  we look forward to the return of our specialist Kapa Haka tutor next year. 

Students can look forward to participating in a range of sporting codes, activities and events in 2024.  Our “Pools in School” programme, provides swimming lessons and education around and in water. Manaia View School is active within our local Raumanga area, with our “Community Connect”  sports programme, being very popular both in class and after school, during specific times in the school year.  The local Community Garden provides opportunities for our tamariki to learn the skills of becoming Kaitiaki and use them in our own school Garden to Table programmes.

We are focussed on preparing our intermediate students, Year 7 and 8, for secondary school, with an extensive transition programme that supports students' individual needs and circumstances. The teachers are committed to provide learning and programmes  that will strengthen this transition.

At Manaia View, we strive for excellence, both academically and in terms of student confidence and wellbeing.  We are proud of all that our students achieve and the  positive attitude they bring to their learning .  We now look forward to a new school year, welcoming new and returning students on their journey to becoming confident and successful 21st-century learners.

Whakatinana te moemoea.
