Our Mission Statement
Pukete School aims to provide a positive, stimulating, and secure learning environment, catering for each child’s individual potential, while developing independence, confidence and  social skills.

About Our School
Pukete School is situated off Te Rapa Straight and is located just a few minutes drive from both the Hamilton City Centre, The Base and Westfield Shopping Centre. Pukete School opened in 1973. We currently have a roll of around 400 and we are a uniform school. We do not have an enrolment scheme in place and the majority of Pukete students come from Pukete, Flagstaff, St. Andrews and Nawton with some children coming from further outlying areas.

You will be greeted warmly by our front office staff. We have an attractive environment which supports learning. We are an Enviro-School. 

An Invitation
When we have visitors at Pukete School, they comment on the friendly atmosphere and welcoming nature of the school. They look at the positive interaction that students have with their teachers and each other.

At Pukete School we believe that building relationships and positive interaction are essential aspects of a quality learning climate. By valuing and supporting our students we create a positive relationship which fosters learning. The personal development of the individual is a priority. Pukete is an anti-bullying school. 

Office Hours
The school Secretary is in attendance at the office from 8.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. daily.
