Welcome to Paparimu School

Paparimu School is a full primary school nestled in the scenic Paparimu Valley, at the base of the stunning Hunua Ranges. It's just a 15-minute drive from Bombay and approximately 25 minutes from both Papakura and Pukekohe.

We provide small class sizes and personalised education for students from Year 1 to Year 8. As part of the Pukekohe Kahui Ako (Community of Learning), which includes 14 other schools, we take pride in our students achieving personal excellence within our inclusive learning environment.

Our school is well-equipped with two modern classrooms, a 20-meter heated swimming pool, a school field, astroturf, library, adventure playground, outdoor breakout space, and a native tree play area. We also have access to the adjacent community hall and tennis courts.

Our core values of PRIDE (Passion, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence) are evident in our school operations and interactions. As a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) school, we clearly communicate and enforce expectations for acceptable behaviour. We actively participate in the Trees for Survival program, growing and planting New Zealand native trees, and we are a Travelwise School.

With a proud history dating back to 1899, Paparimu School has seen generations of local families attend, maintaining strong ties with past whānau. Most of our students live on smaller lifestyle blocks, while some come from farming backgrounds. We offer a welcoming, family-oriented learning environment and believe in a strong home-school partnership.

Our dedicated staff and Board, along with our PTA, whānau, and school community, work collaboratively for the benefit of our students.

Please make contact with us if you would like to come and have a tour of our school.
