Oroua Downs School

Oroua Downs School Oroua Downs School: Challenging students to become successful community and global citizens. We are a rural school located 28 km west of Palmerston North.

Our roll currently stands at 106 and continues to grow. We have a great teaching staff, bringing many talents and skills to our learning space. Our school takes great pride in its approach to learning, with a focus on wellbeing. We also encourage and compete in as many sporting exchanges and events as possible, as our students are highly active and very skilled. We are lucky enough to have excelle

nt resources around our school, with two swimming pools, a great playground, good sized fields, and a small hall that is a dedicated student space. Oroua Downs School is a great place to have fun, learn and follow your passions. Join in the celebration of great things happening and keep up to date with Oroua Downs School.

13-years-old is the rule for having Facebook accounts so we are not expecting to find any of our current pupils on here. This space is for parents, staff, friends and ex-pupils - anyone who wants to hear more about the great place our school is!
