Welcome to Oroua Downs School

Welcome to our new website! For those of you who are wanting some background on our school, we are a rural school located 28 km west of Palmerston North. Our roll currently stands at 98 and is growing at a steady rate. We have a very experienced teaching staff, with all of our teachers having been here for numerous years now. Our school takes great pride in its academic results, with our literacy results in particular being of an excellent standard. We also encourage and compete in as many sporting exchanges and events as possible, as our students are highly active and very skilled. We are lucky enough to have excellent resources around our school, with two swimming pools, a great playground, good sized fields, and a recently refurbished administration area to name a few. If you are new to the area or considering moving here, feel free to make contact with us or request a school visit. We will be happy to show you what we have to offer here. Carwyn Caffell PRINCIPAL
