The Kokako is a native New Zealand bird that is known in Maori Mythology for working with Maui as he fought the sun by giving him water. This bird is also renowned for clarity and volume.
The Kokako was once well populated in Oropi but over the past few decades, the numbers diminished dramtically. However, in 2009 the Kokako was re-introduced to the region which is exciting news for our local community! Like the kokako bird has a unique, clear voice, we believe Oropi School provides a unique education for the children that attend our school. We are very clearly together on what we believe is important for educating our tamariki (parents, teachers, children and the wider community).
Mission ‘Inspiring our students to believe in themselves and realise their potential within our rural community, so they can move forward as confident, contributing members of society.’
‘Toi tu te mana, toi tu te whenua, toi tu te tangata’
Vision Oropi School exists to educate our students through experiential learning and personalised opportunities, in doing so we guide them to know their strengths. Our rural school caters for children from years 1 to 8, developing leadership and a sense of tuakana-teina (close, co-operative, mutually-respectful relationships) across the school. A place where children can be children, take considered risks, exploring new ideas and have a sense of excitement about their own life-long learning. |
