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 50 pupils ranging in age from 5 to 13 years, and with such good accessible routes, Pukehou is 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 Fleur McDowell, two Teacher Aides and an office administrator.
On the last day of the term, we had our annual Great Pukehou Easter Egg Hunt! This year, the amazing Jacqui Gilbertson created beautifully decorated Easter Egg stones, which each child got to keep along with a chocolate treat!
The Easter Bunny again made it challenging to find each egg, and I'm sure we will still be finding hidden eggs in the weeks to come!
It was a fantastic way to end the term and celebrate Easter.
