To create an environment and culture where being the best you can be is our norm.
Here at Huapai District School we are seeking to develop children who are confident and self assured in purpose, who carry a voice of positive influence and consistently deliver at their best.
Huapai is known for its fruit. I have always believed you can judge a tree by its fruit. I’d like to believe, the fruit of what we desire to see in thinking, in learning and in character is evident in the quality and depth of our children.
We are a zoned school and all students who live within the school zone are automatically accepted following proof of address provided to the office.
School lunches will start again for week 1 of Term 2.
– Dominos pizza on Thursdays
– Pita Pit on Fridays.
Please place your orders through Kindo
We are working on other providers for school lunches, we will advise accordingly with any changes.
Classes will be open from 1:30pm today if you would like to come in and spend some time with your students in class. This will be followed by a full school powhiri at 2pm to welcome new students, their families and new staff members. At the conclusion of this powhiri, we will also be presenting end of term awards and then we will crank up the BBQ and have sausages available for everyone to enjoy. School will then finish at the normal time, 3pm.
While you do not need to wear a mask outdoors, you are required to wear one if you enter your child’s classroom.
Please remember that this isn’t the time for a parent interview and that you will be required to leave before 9am so the learning can begin for the day promptly.
Thank you for your continued support – we are thrilled to be able to have you back on site!

The school we dream about sits heavily on a North East track. Intentionally balanced between explicit and implicit teaching. We believe in an authentic connected approach to our curriculum complemented by the creativity we believe all carry.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We see our school as a loud school – with the noise of discovery, the energy generated from passion and the magic of students engaged in learning. We believe all we do in our school can be framed around people, pedagogy and seeing passion realised and released.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
Our Akonga walk tall, they have a thirst for knowledge, and ability to create their own learning opportunities and a belief they can affect positive change. When faced with challenges they reply “I am brave, I am determined and I can do this”.
Excerpt from “Huapai – Graduate Profile”
Our ideal Huapai student is a global citizen who strives for excellence in all endeavours. As the world opens before them, empowered by the mana they hold within, they stand strong, self-assured in purpose knowing who they are and their importance in the world.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We see our school set ‘on the edge of possibility’. We see a front foot type of school, eager to push on and push into a future-focused agenda.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We believe our ideal teacher is ‘the best version of themselves’. It’s not so much being a certain character type or teaching in a certain style. We believe our ideal teacher operates within their strengths, brings all they are to the table and owns it!
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We believe all people are endowed with seeds of greatness and place value on being strengths-based and future-focused, releasing the creativity we all carry.
