ENTHUSIASM – Love to teach and pass their enthusiasm on to their students.
CREATIVITY – Engage students with original thinking and new ways of looking at learning.
DEDICATION – Committed to inspiring the students through outstanding role modelling of commitment, character and good values.
DRIVE – Comes to school every day ready to give their class the best learning experience.

These are the qualities that the Warehouse Stationery NZ’s Most Inspiring Teacher award judges were looking for from the hundreds of nominations.

We are extremely proud to announce that our very own MISS B has been chosen as the RUNNER UP in the primary/intermediate school category for NZ’s Most Inspiring Teacher award. She has won a bundle of prizes which include an assortment of items for Maungakaramea School too!

Congratulations Trudi and the parents and students that nominated her. And thanks to everyone who voted.

We’d also like to say a big congratulations to James Green for being nominated and to Sophia Roulston for making the top 100.

We are very lucky to have such amazing teachers and support for them!

2016 Mid Western Small Schools Cross Country Day

Our school travelled to Waiotira to join Portland, Otaika Valley and Waiotira Schools to compete at the Mid Western Small Schools Cross Country day. Our students got very muddy but had a lot of fun. It was great to see so many parents there to support our children. We even had a couple of parents and our senior teacher, Mr Green run along with the children. Thank you to Waiotira School for hosting this event!

Students and parents were commended on their amazing efforts and participation in creating some amazing costumes of their favourite book characters. Here are a few pictures of our book characters……

2015 – Calf Club Day

Tania Mokaraka — Tue, 03 Nov 2015 03:38:29 +0000

We had our first Saturday Calf Club Day at Maungakaramea School on the 31st October this year and what a great day it turned out to be. The children and members of the community enjoyed watching the animals, looking at the stalls, enjoying the food and they were even able to have their faces painted, bounce on the bouncy castles or have a ride on one the horses from local horse riding school, Eurostables. The rain checked in at times during the day but for the most part it was a fine sunny day.

Thank you so much to all of our families and the children who helped out on the day and to our wonderful sponsors!
