Welcome to our school!

We are a vibrant, thriving community in the heart of South Auckland.

At Papatoetoe West we believe that every child can experience success in their schooling and what this looks like will be different for every child. Our approach is to provide a broad curriculum with rich and meaningful learning experiences. We show commitment to our vision of E tu Kahikitea - Together we strive for growth through learning, by working with whānau and all key stakeholders to support our ākonga as best we can.

Thank you to all our whānau who came to give our withdrawn WonderHub books a new home!

We are thrilled that so many of our tamariki will have books to read over the holiday break! Thank you for fostering the love of literacy!

We wish you all a wonderful break and look forward to seeing everyone return on Monday, 20 April, for the start of term 2!
