Aunoa / English Medium – 7 Classrooms
Here in the English Medium (Aunoa) we offer curriculum instruction from the New Zealand curriculum. Children will experience basic Te Reo Māori from a Kaiāwhina and opportunities to practice daily. Part of our programme includes education outside of the classroom and specialist science instruction.
Reo Rua – 8 Classrooms
Tū toki whakahirahira putanga ki te ao mārama.
Here at Nawton School we offer instruction in two mediums, English and Te Reo Māori. Our Reo Rua unit consists of 8 classrooms from years 1-6, where instruction is in both languages. We work from the New Zealand curriculum while incorporating Te Reo Māori and embracing Tikanga Māori in our everyday classroom practice. Our vision is to empower Reo Rua students to become confident, connected, lifelong learners, to be able to stand confidently in both worlds and be successful as Māori learners.
Kia tū pakari i ngā ao e rua, ā, te ao Māori me te ao Pākehā.
Rumaki – 10 Classrooms

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, nei rā te mihi o te rōpū rumaki o Nōera ki a koutou katoa. He rōpū rumaki mātou e noho ana i raro i te korowai o Ngāti Māhanga otirā te waka o Tainui. E aroha ana mātou ki ngā mahi a kui mā, a koro mā kātahi ko ngā akoranga o te ao hurihuri nei.
Nawton School offers a high quality Māori immersion programme. We welcome everyone keen to immerse themselves and their child in Māori language and customs. Class instruction is in Māori and all curriculum areas are covered. We have seven kaiako teaching years 1 – 8, two kaiāwhina and a kaiārahi i te reo.
In year six, an English transition programme is introduced to ensure that our students are also able to read and write in both English and Māori when they graduate.
