Nau mai, haere mai 

It is with great pleasure we welcome you to Ladbrooks School Ngā Puna Tapuwai

Established in 1889, we are a community-centered school with approximately 130 enthusiastic tamariki who are Ready, Willing, and Able to Learn Together. 

We are a green-gold accredited semi-rural Enviroschool where the environment provides exciting, local, and authentic learning opportunities.

Catering for tamariki from New Entrants through to Year 8, Ngā Puna Tapuwai has a proud tradition of providing high quality, innovative opportunities and experiences. We actively encourage tuakana teina, where we all learn from, and support one another.

Ladbrooks School embraces collaboration, authentic learning experiences, flexibility, student-centered learning, creativity, and connectivity.

Our curriculum is a living document that is reflective of our school values, the latest evidence-based best practices within education, and the needs of our students and families. We take great pride in our collaborative approach to teaching and learning.

As a team, we encourage and welcome your contribution to school life. Whānau play a vital role in supporting children's learning and we value your role in our school. We look forward to you getting involved and taking an active role in this stage of your child’s life - it goes by so quickly.
