Royal Oak Primary School, Chandler Crescent
Dairy Flat,
Orakei School was opened on July 2nd 1938 by Michael Joseph Savage, the greatly respected Prime Minister of the time.
Its 75th Jubilee will be celebrated on Friday 20th September and Saturday 21st September 2013. Nestled in the beautiful suburb of Orakei, our school is committed to giving each child enrolled with us the individual attention and guidance to allow them every opportunity to be successful. At Orakei School we pride ourselves on building those critical relationships with our wider community, our families and most importantly, our children. We know and understand our students; what they are passionate about, what their strengths are, what are the areas to improve, how they learn, what makes them laugh and ultimately, what it is that we need to do, so that we can continually push them to achieve. Our spacious and picturesque surroundings provide an amazing backdrop to our future focused and ICT enriched classrooms. Catering for years 1 – 8, our school embraces a love of learning, our commitment to high standards and our continued focus on respect for others, our environment and ourselves. Orakei School is friendly, welcoming and passionate about our students. We are all one big family that works together to offer our students the very best in all aspects of their growth and education.
