Bulls Kindergarten

Kia ora and welcome to our kindergarten, a place where children have fun, engage in learning through play, and relationships with our community and the land are strong and respectful.

Ruahine Bulls Kindergarten is a Silver Enviroschool which promotes sustainability-for-life learning.  We are inclusive and welcome contributions from all in our community.  Literacy, numeracy, science, drama, music, dance and art are woven meaningfully throughout the curriculum, and tamariki are supported in their social competency and wellbeing.  We support an environment that values the knowledge children and whānau bring with them, this underpins our local curriculum and commitment to bi-culturally responsive practices.
