| TE ARO SCHOOL "KAKE TONU TE ARO" EVER UPWARDS TE ARO Te Aro School is a vibrant, inclusive, multicultural full primary school with approximately 200 children from over 40 countries and a strong community presence dating back to 1854. We cater for all children from Year 0-8 and provide a very wide and varied curriculum. We have 10 modern classrooms fitted with interactive whiteboards and each teacher uses a sound field microphone system. Te Aro School children come from all over Wellington and a great deal of importance is also placed on the partnership that exists between the home and school. Parents are welcome to join in with school and classroom activities. The school operates an enrolment scheme to ensure that children in our catchment area have a place in our classes and class numbers do not get too high. We do consider all out of zone enrolment enquiries and numbers permitting, accept them. To complement the NZ National Curriculum our school provides a wide range of other programmes including Kapa Haka, Technicraft, Guitar Tuition, Chess Club, Netball, Basketball, School Band, Drama, Environmental Club, Juggling and Problem Solving. We provide a safe, positive and nurturing environment where everyone is valued and respected. To break down social and cultural barriers Te Aro School promotes the use of first names for all staff, children and adults. Te Aro School is situated up on The Terrace below Victoria University and the Cuba St/ Aro Valley communities allow us to access to many fantastic city activities and resources. We also have strong links to all of the inner city Wellington Secondary Schools and Victoria University. Due to our partnership with the University, ex Te Aro school students can apply for two first year scholarships at Victoria University at the conclusion of their secondary schooling. We welcome all new families to our school and we hope the information on this website is of help to you. Please look for the link to our school information booklet.
