Policies & Procedures
Drawing strength from our cultural diversity, and sharing responsibility with the community for the well-being of our children, Otahuhu School has high expectations that all children will achieve to the best of their abilities and develop the attitudes and skills to grow as lifelong learners and successful members of New Zealand society.
Otahuhu Primary is a Positive Behaviour 4 Learning School. Our school Values are "H.E.A.R.T"... Honesty, Excellence, Attitude, Respect, Tolerance.
Otahuhu Primary School is the oldest school in the Otahuhu district and celebrated its 150th Jubilee in 2008. We have a proud history of serving our students and community well.
Today we have over 600 students who attend our school and more than 50 adults working on our staff.
The school has a history, which extends back to 9 August 1858 when classes were conducted for the first time in a building belonging to the Church of England. Since that time there have been many changes which have seen the school change from a District High School catering for both primary and secondary school students to the primary contributing school it is today catering for Y0-6 students only. Today we have over 500 students who attend our school and more than 50 adults working on our staff. The school continues to serve a diverse community and students attending are mainly drawn from Pacific, Māori, and Indian cultural backgrounds. Students are offered bilingual programmes in the Māori, Samoan and Tongan languages.
Bell TimesWe ask parents and caregivers to please make every effort to ensure your children attend school everyday. School starts at 8:45am and finishes at 2:45pm. It is very important that unless your child is sick or has a very good reason to be absent from school that they attend during these hours. Students who arrive late and leave early can disrupt learning time for the whole class. 8:45am - School Begins 8.55am - Fitness 9:10am - Learning Block 1 10:15am - Brain Break 10:20 - Learning Block 2 11:20am - Morning Tea Eating 11:25am - 11.40am - Morning Tea Play 11:40am - Learning Block 3 12:45pm - 1:20pm - Lunch Play 1:20pm - 1:30pm - Lunch Eating 1:30 - Learning Block 4 2:45pm - School Ends |
