Who We Are
Pukehou School is a tranquil rural school situated on State Highway 2, fifteen minutes south of Hastings and fifteen minutes north of Waipukurau. With approximately 90 pupils ranging in age from 5 to 13 years and with such good accessible routes, it makes Pukehou an attractive place for your child’s education in Central Hawke’s Bay.
Pukehou School is proud to be an Enviroschool.
The school is headed up by School Principal Rob Pratt with Deputy Principal Rachael Strong, accompanied by three other full time teachers, one full time office administrator along with one almost full time teacher aide.
Last Friday Aaron Greaves spent the day at school guiding our senior tamariki in creating beautiful pounamu Taonga. What an incredible opportunity for them to learn and create something meaningful. Thank you to Aaron for his expertise not only in carving, but also sharing history and stories with us.
Thanks also to AK for making it all happen, and to the Pukehou Whānau and Friends team for the funding that supported this awesome experience.
Very cool 😎
