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 50 pupils ranging in age from 5 to 13 years, and with such good accessible routes, Pukehou is 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 Fleur McDowell, two Teacher Aides and an office administrator.
The end of an era has come. Our old Administration Block won't be here when children return to school next week! Demolition has occurred over the break, and we will begin moving into the new space in the remodelled hall on Monday, which is exciting!! There will be a formal opening later in the term when all the work is complete. Stay tuned.
A long time coming. The new spaces will be great!
