Rhode Street School

We are located in the southwestern Hamilton suburb of Dinsdale. Our beautiful school was established in 1959 on Ngaati Maahanga whenua and to this day, continues to deliver effective learning and matauranga for our amazing Year 0 to Year 8 ākonga. Rhode Street School has developed as a centre of learning for our wider whānau community, where it is widely recognised as innovative and ecologically sustainable through our localised curriculum delivery. We welcome you to our kura whānau and trust you will come and visit us soon to see how we "haere I te korero or walk the talk" when it comes to ākonga agency, whānau engagement, and kaiako efficacy.

"Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini."

My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, as it was not individual success but success of a collective

When meeting and talking to our ākonga for the first time, many manuhiri to our Kura often comment on how confident, articulate and respectful they are towards others. These same observations are made by our ākonga of their kaiako:

“My kaiako talks with me about my learning”

“My kaiako wants my whānau to have a say and makes it possible”

“Whaea listens to my views and those of my friends”

“Matua shares his views with me and my mates”

“They care about what we think”

“Whaea shares good news (and the not so good) with my parents and whānau”

“My kaiako hears what my parents say, expect and want.”

Modelling as adults how we want our ākonga to be as a collective is captured in our whakatauki (our shared vision)
