Kia ora koutou,
Haere mai, welcome to Waikouaiti School, where our vision is growing together. Nestled in the beautiful coastal town of Waikouaiti, we are proud to provide a nurturing and inspiring environment where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential.
At Waikouaiti School, we value care, respect and kindness. Our dedicated team of teachers and support staff work together to create a safe and engaging learning space that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a love for lifelong learning. We believe in strong connections with whānau and the wider community, ensuring that every student feels supported on their educational journey.
We are proud of our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and our partnership with Puketeraki Marae that helps in preparing our tamariki to be confident, capable, and compassionate individuals. Whether you are a new family considering joining our school or a long-standing member of our community, we welcome you to explore what makes Waikouaiti School so special.
Please feel free to visit, get involved, and be part of our vibrant school whānau.

Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,
Tomorrow, Friday 16 May, is National Pink Shirt Day, a special day when Aotearoa comes together to take a stand against bullying.
To support this important kaupapa, we encourage students to wear something pink to school as a symbol of kindness, inclusion, and support for one another. It’s a great opportunity for our tamariki to show that they believe in standing up to bullying and creating a safe, respectful environment for everyone.
Pink Shirt Day is led by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, promoting the message:
Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
Thank you for your support.
