Welcome to Oranga School. Oranga means wellbeing and at Oranga School we believe in nurturing the whole child. We are passionate about education and making a difference in the lives of our students. 

 

At Oranga School we place the child at the centre of the learning process, ensuring that they feel connected, are motivated to learn, do their best and experience progress and success. It is important for students to have a sense of belonging and confidence in themselves, their place in the world and be life-long learners.

 

We have high expectations of our students and we have an expectation that all our children will succeed. We are proud to celebrate the diversity within our community and we value and accept the uniqueness that this brings to our school.
