Sports and Cultural Events
On Friday four teams attended the Far North Kiwisport Netball competition in Kaitaia. Four year groups were represented. Even though we did not win the competition our students played with great enthusiasm.
Mangonui School
Mangonui School opened in 1858. Part of the original school is still in use today as the Room 7. It has a lovely view past neighbouring historic St. Andrews church and over the upper reaches of Mangonui Harbour.
Mangonui School is a great school of which the community is very proud. Since the introduction of "Tomorrow's Schools", Mangonui School has managed to utilise available funding to enhance and develop the school grounds and environment. The school is situated in one of Mangonui's prime real estate positions, sitting in a bush setting with beautiful harbour views.
The school has a swimming pool, two tennis courts, field area, large new playground, newly concreted court area, a seating area which has been designed to include a stage. The bush area is also available as a play area for the children. We also have a wonderful sandpit which has been shaded with two playgrounds for our students.
The charm and peace of this busy fishing port obviously hold a great attraction for those weary of city life.
The children are typical Far North students, kind, creative, intelligent and active. We place a lot of emphasis on manners and developing strong values. Every Monday morning students are acknowledged for displaying positive behaviours towards one another.
The community is very supportive but at the same time expects a high standard from its school. We are a progressive school involved in a number of Ministry of Education contracts. We are in our final year of in-depth professional development in writing. We are also working on developing stronger 'authentic' learning contexts. We use 'best practices' which are evidenced based practices that are proven to have the biggest impact on student achievement. We pride ourselves on providing a modern learning environment.
There are at present seven classrooms.The teaching staff are all experienced and very competent. They are dedicated to the children and the provision of quality education. They are forward thinkers who are always keen to find out about new trends in education and incorporate them in their programmes.
