About

Opononi Area School is a small rural school situated on the edge of the beautiful Hokianga Harbour. 

Education in a rural setting has many advantages and we are excited to offer our students the opportunities rural education provides:

• Small class numbers which ensures student's receive personalised teaching and have opportunities to develop personal skills through tuakana/ teina activities. 

• Student leadership opportunities at all levels of schooling. 

• An experienced professional network that knows every student, and avenues for extension and support. 

• Individual attention to develop personalised programmes and goals. 

• Extra curricular opportunities that utilise our unique physical environment.
