Pembroke School is a U2 School with four classrooms providing quality education in a caring and supportive school environment to our Year 0-8 students. Our aim is to honour and value our rural school culture, with a focus on relationships, collaboration and creating opportunties for our students to live their best childhoods through a range 'kiwi kid' experiences. We love to get out and learn in our amazing local community. With Taranaki Maunga as our backdrop and surrounded by nature there are plenty of opportunities.
OUR CLASSES
Each of our classes is named after a tree and our curriculum is structured around the growth of a tree from tupu (a seedling) in Year 0-3, to māhuri (a sapling) in year 4-6 and finally our learners with the right support and great learning grow into confident, capable and strongly rooted rakau in Year 7-8 (mighty trees) ready to continue to thrive and do well in the next stages of their education and life.

Thanks to a Toi Foundation Capital Grant in 2023, Pembroke School has one-to-one devices for all our students. These allow teachers to seamlessly compliment our non-digital learning with digital based learning opporunities ensuring that our students enjoy a well balanced curriculum.
TUAKANA-TEINA BUDDIES
Our school has two hubs Teina Hub: Year 0-4, Tuakana Hub: Year 5-8. Our Teina students are paired up with a Tuakana Buddy who looks out for them and come together to do Buddy Reading and activities.
HOUSES
Every child and staff member is assigned a house. Each house is represented by a colour and a New Zealand animal/mammal. House groups come together to have fun, compete in fun events and learn. It is a good idea to have a few clothing items of your child's house colour in the wardrobe for house events.
