Kia ora koutou katoa. Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. It is my honour and pleasure to welcome you in my role as tumuaki principal of this lovely school in 2025.

Prebbleton School has been here since 1857, when it first opened it was a small rural school. In the last two decades Prebbleton has grown with many new housing areas popping up.

We are now a thriving school of 570 students! Our buildings are a mix of new and old. We have good sized grounds with plenty of play areas. The staff and students at Prebbleton are proud of our school and coming here each day is a delight.

Our Maori name (Te Kura o Taumata Kuri) means "The school where he (Kiwhare) gazed on speargrass which showed him the way from Taumutu to Kaiapoi".
This was a gift from the Kaumatua of the Taumutu – our local Runanga.

Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Kind regards, hei konā mai
Kim Alexander, Principal

Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Maungawhau te maunga
Ko Waitematā te moana
Nō Tāmaki Makaurau ahau
He tangata tiriti ahau
Kei Ōtautahi ahau e noho ana ināianei
Nāia ōku mihi ki te mana whenua, ki a Ngāti Ruahikihiki
Ko ahau te tumuaki i te kura o Taumata-kuri
Ko Kim Alexander tōku ingoa
Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
