Ngutunui Enviro School

Ngutunui Enviro School We are a unique 'family' school, one that typifies both lifestyle and work ethic of rural New Zealand. We provide a broad education for students from Y0-8

We provide a broad education for tamariki from Years 1 to 8 and our current roll is 45. We are pleased to offer small class sizes and passionate teachers who love teaching. Our numerous resources include an orchard, edible gardens ( planted and cared for by the tamariki), a swimming pool and tennis courts. We are very proud of our well cared for grounds and are surrounded by countryside, rivers an

d mountains. We have the benefit of close proximity to two well resourced towns, Te Awamutu and Otorohanga, while facilities of the city are only 30 minutes away in Hamilton. We have high expectations for all our tamariki learning and we continually support them to progress and experience success. We utilise all available resources to achieve this, including people, our environment and technologies. We aim to provide many of the opportunities that tamariki would have available in larger schools. Every year we have our annual Agricultural Day and every third year we host the Group Day. Year 7 and 8's attend an offsite Technology and Arts programme. Senior students participate in a combined Senior Leadership Programme with several other rural schools and have a range of leadership opportunities in the school itself. We have an Enviro Nurturers Group which will lead implementation of an Enviro Plan, culminating in EnviroSchools' Children's Day later in the year. We respect our bicultural heritage and provide Te Reo me Tikanga Maori and have a school Kapa Haka group. We welcome visitors and new tamariki to our school so next time you are in the area stop by for a cup of tea and a tour.

Ka kite ano,

Cleonie Whyte
Principal

💛🌼 DAFFODIL DAY AT NGUTUNUI SCHOOL 🌼💛

Ngutunui School is proudly supporting Daffodil Day today! 💛

It’s been awesome to see our tamariki dressed in yellow and helping us show our support for the Cancer Society and the incredible work they do for people and whānau affected by cancer. 🌼

💛 A reminder to our parents and whānau: rather than sending donations to school, we encourage you to make your donation directly online to the Cancer Society.

🌼 Donate here: daffodilday.org.nz

Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference. 💛

Thank you Ngutunui whānau for getting behind such an important cause! 🌼💛

🏉 Congratulations to our Rippa Girls! 🏉

A huge congratulations to our Year 5–8 girls Rippa team, who competed in the King Country Rippa Championship yesterday in the Year 7–8 competition!

The girls did an awesome job, coming away with 2 wins and 2 losses against some tough and, in many cases, older competition. 💪

What made us most proud was the way they played — showing fantastic teamwork, determination and team spirit no matter what the score was. They supported each other, kept giving it their all and represented our school with pride.
It was great to have our friends from Hauturu School join us again this year 🙌

🌟 Well done, girls! We are incredibly proud of you! 🌟

🌱 Trees for Survival Planting 🌱
Yesterday, Tui headed to the Ormsby Farm for our Trees for Survival planting day. What an incredible day it was!
Our students worked together to plant an amazing 700 native plants—a mix of mānuka, kānuka, and karamū. They tackled the planting with enthusiasm and positivity.
A huge thank you to the Ormsby family for hosting us, sharing your local knowledge and providing us with delicious kai! Another huge thank you to Katherine from Trees for Survival, and Jane & Dave for supporting this project and helping us with the planting.
It feels great to know our students are making a real difference in our community while learning about caring for our whenua. 🌿💚

We were lucky to have Gaylene and Grace from the Ōtorohanga Library visit us today. They ran some fun activities with our students and shared the wide range of exciting opportunities available for both students and whānau.
They reminded us that the library is much more than just books. Some of the fantastic resources and facilities available include:
📖 A large collection of books, audiobooks, magazines, and eResources
💻 Free WiFi and computers
🎧 Quiet spaces
🧵 A sewing machine
🖨️ A 3D printer
🎲 Regular programmes, holiday activities, and events for all ages
The library also offers STEM sessions during term time, which are very popular hands-on experiences. These need to be registered for in advance to secure a place.
Please check the information that came home with tamariki today for more details!

We are incredibly grateful for the support from our school community so far. Thank you for helping our students jump towards a healthier future.

Whānau if you haven't created an account for your tamariki, there's still time to join in! Every donation, no matter the size, helps support the Heart Foundation's important work in improving heart health across New Zealand. Check out Skool Loop for the info.

🍓🍌 Smoothie Friday Success in Tui Class! 🥛✨
We have been learning all about the essential nutrients we need to fuel our growing bodies! 🧠💪

To put our learning into action last week, the amazing students in Tui took over the kitchen and made their own fresh yoghurt. On Friday, they turned it into delicious, nutrient-packed smoothies for everyone to enjoy—delivering a massive boost of vitamins, calcium, and protein! 🍓🌪️

The verdict? A total hit! Even our resident school foodie, Piri, gave them a rare and coveted 11/10 rating! 🌟🏆

Awesome job, Tui! Let’s keep fueling those bodies with the good stuff! 🍏🥦🍇

🛠️ Many Hands Make Light Work!
A massive THANK YOU to all the wonderful families who have dropped in recently to tackle our "Do it at a time that suits you" Working Bee!

We know how busy life gets, so seeing our community step up and complete those tasks on their own schedules has been incredible!

On behalf of the Board, staff, students and the wider school community, we want to express our deepest gratitude. Your time and effort make a world of difference for our students and help keep our school looking its best.
