  • We're part of the Healthy Lunches Program, which means every child at our school can get a free lunch everyday they're at school.

  • We don't charge school fees at Piopio Primary School. 

  • Students aren't required to supply their own device/chrome book. these are funded by our Board.

  • School buses are provided free of charge (except for the Te Kuiti route).

  • We have TWO swimming pools as part of school grounds, which means our kids get to swim EVERY DAY over the summer.

  • We have a dedicated STEAM Room (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths). Using STEAM uses both sides of the brain and aims to bring out the artist within the engineer, the mathematician inside the musician, and the scientist within the designer.
