Principal's Welcome
I am very proud to be part of Manurewa South School. We have an amazing group of teachers who work hard to provide the best possible learning opportunities for our children. Our teachers are supported by a wonderful group of teacher aides, office staff and hard-working caretakers who help to create a learning environment at our school. We have a very active Board of Trustees and a leadership team who are passionate about enhancing the learning experiences of every child at Manurewa South School.
As a school we like to expose our children to a variety of real-life learning experiences so that they can expand their knowledge and have a better understanding of the world around them. We also see the importance of our children experiencing a range of activities including sporting events, The Arts – music, dance, drama and visual art, as well as the fundamental skills of literacy, maths and inquiry learning to help them become confident, life-long learners.
Thank you for taking the time to explore our website and find out more about Manurewa South School. Our website will keep evolving over time so that you are always kept updated with what’s happening here at south. We look forward to welcoming and working alongside you and your children.
Sincerely,
Tone Kolose
