Lone Kauri

Mrs Meredith Blackman and Mrs Viv Mulgrew welcome you

On the Lone Kauri Road near Karekare Beach is a small side school, attached to the Oratia staffing schedule, but autonomous in its operation.  It currently caters for 29 children, under the direction of a senior teacher.  This side school has a special character of its own and is quite unique in New Zealand.

The classroom is nestled in a beautiful Waitakere bush garden where bird and insect life is abundant.  Children get to explore this wonderful garden during their morning tea and lunchtime breaks.  The garden is also a wonderful source of language, science and art inspiration.

Below are some pictures of our art and language work.
