WaiouruSchoolGeneralDescription
Waiouru School is a state, co-educational full-primary school for pupils from Years Zero to Eight. TheschooliscentrallylocatedbetweenTaihapeandOhakune,justoffState
Highway One, in the North Island of New Zealand's central plateau. Waiouru township is the home of the New Zealand Army andisamajormilitarytrainingcamp.Waiouru
Military Camp provides at least 90% employment for our community in both military and civilian roles. We are also fortunate to regularly welcome families of the military
forces, from our Pacific Islandneighbours,fortwoyearplacementsinWaiouru. ThisprogrammeofexchangeenrichesourculturalenvironmentandrelationshipwiththeNew
ZealandArmy.
Support provided by the New Zealand Army has significant advantages for Waiouru School with a wide range of support facilities available to our students. These include
recreationalfacilities,sportsfields,tennisandsquashcourts,gymnasiumandindoorswimmingpool.
Waiouru School is situated on Ruapehu Road in a modernbuildingcompletedin2011. Theprevious,nowdemolished,schoolbuildingswereoverseventyyearsoldandattheir
peak housed over 1200 pupils. With the downsizing of the Waiouru Military Camp and reduction in student numbers, it was deemed that the construction of a new building
wouldbemoreeconomicalthantherefurbishmentoftheoldbuildings.
Our school building is fully weatherprotectedwithalargecoveredLearningStreetconnectingsixclassrooms,studenttoiletsandlibrary. ThebottomoftheLearningStreet
opens to a well equipped modern play area, with an excellent adventure playground and basketball court. The top of the Learning Street opens to the gallery, with the
administrationblock,teacherresourceroomandstaffroomatoneend,withthelargeschoolhall,additionalstudenttoilets,andstorageroomattheother.
Classrooms are built in pairs with connected teacher withdrawal spaces, wet rooms, and computer spaces. Students have access to a plethora of modern ICT equipment,
