Maungatapu Primary is a School that has a rich and valued history. At 132 years old, Maungatapu School has seen and experienced many changes in how our world and society function. It has grown with the change and still holds many of the founding principles within the culture of the school. Over these years Maungatapu has always been student focused and continues to adapt and change to meet the needs of our Maungatapu Learners.

With the 21st Century learner being so diverse and the demands on schools and teachers increasing constantly, Maungatapu School addresses these dynamics in education through a strategic and collective approach.

School facilities

Maungatapu School has worked to develop a number of fine facilities which we are happy to share with our community. Feel free to make use of our grounds after school, during the weekends and in the holidays. The school and community hall is available for hire outside school hours. Details are available from the school office regarding hall hire. Please help us to keep our school in a safe, clean and welcoming condition by refraining from dropping litter or allowing children to skateboard on our decks and seats out of school hours. We prefer that dogs be kept at home rather than walked to school with children.
