Oranga School was established in February 1949 and currently has a roll of approximately 350 year 1–6 students and has a combined staff of approximately 40.
The school is set on the southern slopes of One Tree Hill with spacious park-like grounds and extensive learning resources including a library, well-resourced classrooms, extensive digital devices including Chromebooks, ipads and Robotics.
The school boasts three fantastic adventure playgrounds, a bicycle track, a school hall with stage facilities and large court and field areas.
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 the uniqueness that this brings to our school.
