A massive thank you to ADCR (Aotearoa Disaster and Community Resources) for dropping off the delicious golden kiwi fruit for our tamariki! 🥝✨

They loved every single bite, and we couldn't think of a better or healthier pick-me-up to mark the middle of the week. Seeing their smiles as they enjoyed such a sweet, fresh treat at lunchtime reminds us just how truly blessed we are to have your ongoing care and support.

Ngā mihi nui for always looking out for our tamariki and keeping our community nourished! 💛

MATHEMATICIANS IN THE MAKING!

What an incredible Maths Week it has been for our Year 7 and Year 8 students!

What started as a friendly competition between Kowhai and Kauri quickly turned into a monumental achievement on the national stage in the Times Tables Rock Stars challenge.

Out of 300+ schools and over 15,000 students, Maramarua School placed 2nd overall for student averages! 🥈

We are so incredibly proud of the hard work, speed, and dedication our learners showed. Just like the sign outside our gates says: "Small school, big possibilities." We will keep striving to give our students every opportunity to shine and achieve big things!

A special shout-out to the Year 6 Kanuka students who stepped up and gave the challenge a go, you smashed it!

Watch out for next time, we’re aiming to get the whole school to participate!
