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.

Kia ora e te whānau

Pink Shirt Day is tomorrow!!!!

Our tamariki can come dressed in Pink for the day. We have been participating in activities all week and tomorrow is a great way to celebrate diversity.

This is a free non-uniform day, however, if tamariki would like to bring a donation, it would be gratefully accepted and passed on to The Mental Health Foundation.

Remember, no facepaint thank you!
