I like Maraetai Beach School because of the friendly and supportive environment provided for children to learn both inside and outside the classroom, the close-knit community feel, the approachability and dedication of the teachers and last but not least, the highly committed and skilled Board of Trustees who share and aid Mark and his team’s passion to see every child reach their full potential.

With two Children at Maraetai School I can't speak highly enough of all the teachers and staff that I have had the pleasure of meeting.

My children look forward to going to school everyday and are enthusiastic with their school work. A smaller school that has a real community vibe making it a safe and friendly environment for students, teachers and parents. 

As an active member of the PTA, it's great to see like minded parents wanting to help where they can to support the School.

My name is Lochie and I go to Maraetai Beach School. I am in Year 2. The best thing about my school is the three playgrounds. One for junior school, one for middle school and for senior school. We also have some awesome rugby posts and a pool. Sometimes the pool is a bit cold! I like doing maths and writing and playing with my friends. When I grow up I want to be a Blues player and an All Black.
