A message from our Principal

 Kia Ora, Malo e Lelei, Talofa Lava, Namaste, Ni Hao, Greetings​!

​Welcome to Paparimu Primary School.

On behalf of the Paparimu School Board, Staff and Students, I extend a very warm welcome to you and your whānau as you undertake that very important decision as to where to educate your child.

Paparimu School is a fantastic rural school catering for students from Year 0-8. Our school has been an integral part of our community for over one hundred years and has educated generations of families.


The advantages of attending our small school are:
  • Children have a greater sense of belonging.
  • Children know and care about each other.
  • A family atmosphere and our diversity is celebrated.
  • Multi age grouping - students learn at their level.
  • High expectations of achievement and behaviour.
  • Clear lines of communication between home and school.
Feel free to read more about the advantages of a small school for your child's education here.


I look forward to welcoming you to Paparimu School and invite you to contact me regarding how we can meet your child's education needs.
