Established in 1873, we lie in the heart of the vibrant Rangiora township and have been providing quality education for many generations.

We are a full primary school, New Entrant to Year 8. We are a large school with 480 tamariki.

Over the past 20 years our school has modernised its classrooms and buildings to meet the needs of modern education and the modern child.

We have an amazing professional staff of teachers and support staff that design and support high quality - fun - educational programmes for our children, that meet their needs and interests while installing a firm foundation in reading, writing, mathematics and Numicon.

We have an extra special element to our school - Ngā Rākau e Rua - our bilingual unit. This wonderful whānau space provides quality education for tamariki in Year 2 to 8. The aim is to develop a bilingual student that both converses in Māori and English, establishing a strong foundation in both languages with a bi cultural outlook on personal, communal and global issues.

Our vision is to provide pathways to lifelong learning through developing our five school values of Manaakitanga (respect), Whanaungatanga (relationships) , Kairangi (excellence), Hauora (wellbeing), and Kaitiakitanga (guardianship).

Here at Rangiora Borough School we strive for positive relationships with our Whānau. Building strong partnerships to foster the best educational outcomes for students that meet their individual needs and personal wellbeing.

Please feel free to contact or visit us, we look forward to meeting you.

Keep smiling
