Our Mission
Pukehou School aims to provide an environment that inspires curiosity, creativity, and wonder in our lifelong learners.
To help students reach their full potential, Pukehou School will:
- Provide an excellent education in a happy and stimulating learning environment.
- Encourage kindness, integrity and respect of individual and community values.
- Develop active, healthy children and give them freedom to explore.
- Care for our environment.
Who We Are
Pukehou School is a tranquil rural school situated on State Highway 2, fifteen minutes south of Hastings and fifteen minutes north of Waipukurau. With approximately 90 pupils ranging in age from 5 to 13 years and with such good accessible routes, it makes Pukehou an attractive place for your child’s education in Central Hawke’s Bay.
Pukehou School is proud to be an Enviroschool.
The school is headed up by School Principal Rob Pratt with Deputy Principal Rachael Strong, accompanied by three other full time teachers, one full time office administrator along with one almost full time teacher aide.
At the end of Term 2, we celebrated Red Nose Day. Children and staff dressed in red for the day, and we raised a little under $70 for Cure Kids through donations. Pictured are some of our wonderful students who embraced the theme, enjoying a well deserved and delicious hot chocolate (with marshmallows!).
