WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL WEBSITE

Nau mai, Haere mai

Paparore School, just north of Awanui in the Far North, is located within the tribal rohe of Ngāi Takoto. Our school provides for children in Years 1 to 6.  Paparore School was first established at it’s original site in Te Paa A Parore in 1900. We are now on the third site adjacent to the recreational Lake Ngatu and only a 5 minute drive to Te Oneroa a Tohe [90 Mile Beach].
