Welcome

Ka tiaki, ka ako, ka whanake

To Care, To Learn, To Grow

Tena koutou e ngā whānau                                               

Greetings to all families

A warm welcome to Pukekauere | Woodhill School. We are situated between Helensville and Waimauku on the outskirts of Auckland.  Our families enjoy the advantages of our beautiful rural environment, while having the opportunities of the city on our doorstep.

At Woodhill we support our children in our school values of: Tiaki | Care, Ako | Learn, and Whanake | Grow’ to the highest standards. We are stongly bicultural and are proud to be a dual language medium school with two Level 2 Te Reo Māori Bilingual classes and three English medium classes. All students have access to a broad curriculum that enhances their strengths and meets their needs. Students learn and progress at their level in our small classes. Our children have high levels of curiosity and enjoy inquiring about the world around them. 

Communication is a strength of the school and there are close relationships between students, parents, and teachers, who engage together daily.   

We are very proud of our confident students who achieve academic progress and success, have a strong sense of identity, excellent communication skills, and perform well across the arts and in sports.

Our children are supported by passionate staff, supportive whānau, and a dedicated Board of Trustees.  Whānau are fully involved in school life: helping in and around the school, supporting students' learning, coaching and managing sports, and attending trips and events.  We sit under the korowai and tikanga extended to us from Whiti te rā o Reweti Marae and are well supported by local iwi - Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara.

If you would like to find out more about Woodhill School, please get in touch with us.  You will find information about enrolment and transitions in the FAQ page on this website.  We look forward to meeting you.
