Why Choose Pyes Pā School
Pyes Pā School is a country school located in a rural community. It is the members of the community that make Pyes Pā School special. Our children are country kids with passion and enthusiasm for life. They are keen to enjoy and explore the world around them. Pyes Pā children are leaders, team players and accepting and supportive of each other. They are well-rounded individuals who are academically capable, physically active and socially adept. By the time they leave for college, our students are confident young people, well prepared for the next stage of learning and equipped for active, successful participation in all aspects of life. We recognise and encourage our students to be active learners. Our school programmes are shaped to include rich learning experiences. These include cutting-edge digital learning, information and communication technology, Junior School Discovery time, a comprehensive technology programme for Year 7-8 students, individualised special needs support programmes and a strong engagement in educational experiences outside the classroom with camps and educational visits. Senior students from Years 6-8 are also encouraged to take on leadership roles within the school, culminating in specific leadership development opportunities for Year 8 students including Leadership Camp and Young Leader’s Day. We also have strong, active sporting and cultural links with other rural and city schools in and around Tauranga. |
We foster a variety of learning experiences at Pyes Pā School, including FUSE drumming lessons, Gym classes and extra-curricular sporting opportunities. These learning experiences are enhanced by the great facilities at Pyes Pā including our specialist Environmental Arts Centre, native bush walk, school hall and solar heated swimming pool.
