Attention Out-of-Zone Families for 2027: As part of our planning for the 2027 school year, we are calling final opportunity for our out-of-zone enrolment applications.

The Moturoa Board has established that there are 7 Out of Zone Places in Year 0/1 available for 2027.

If you would still like to submit an expression of interest for our records, please complete our form here
Applications need to be made by Thursday October 15

A ballot will be held on Friday October 30 to fill the seven places as already out of zone applications exceed the places available.
Families will be informed of the results of the ballot on Monday 2nd November.

Thank you so much for your support and understanding as we prepare for another wonderful year ahead at Moturoa School! ❤️

Our New Plymouth cross country competitors did us proud today. Determination, focus, and commitment saw all our runners complete a challenging course against the cream of New Plymouth’s primary school runners. Well done team. We are all so proud of you.

🌈 We survived the Powder Apocalypse! 🎨

What an absolute blast! Huge thanks to everyone who came out to make our Colour Run such a fabulously colorful, chaotic success.

Special shoutouts are definitely in order:
Our Amazing Tamariki: You brought all the energy, speed, and bright smiles! You all looked like glorious, sprinting rainbows out there. 🌟

Mr E: Our Fearless Chief Organiser: Thank you for planning an epic day and keeping the chaos beautifully organised!

The Friends & Family Committee and Mr Kerry: Massive thanks for keeping everyone fueled with sausages and sauce. (We're pretty sure a few sausages got a light dusting of blue powder, but hey—extra flavor, right?)

Taranaki: Thank you so much for the support and for supplying the glorious Fun Run powder!

Our Legend Parents: Thanks for coming out to cheer, watch, and bravely accept all those enthusiastic, powder-covered hugs afterward. We hope your washing machines are up for the challenge tonight! 🧼🚿

So proud of our tamariki. Shout out to Matua Phil for all of his mahi, and our teachers who all encourage and organise our kids each week for kapahaka. I hope all the mahi was worth it for you all too.
So good to see so many whanau making the trip to Hawera to support. Bring on Puanga whanau. Great to be part of such a vibrant celebration of our culture.
