Upper Moutere School

Description

There are six well equipped classrooms, a spare classroom owned by the school, ample resource sheds, a teacher’s resource room, modern library, staffroom and administration area and a multi-purpose building/hall.  The school has a large wooden deck sheltered by a number of mature trees, providing a relaxing area for lunch times. The playing fields are on two levels with the swimming pool, netball courts, cricket practice net and sandpit used by the wider community.

Parents are involved in assisting in the library, classroom programmes and transporting children on trips.
Year 7/8 Upper Moutere School pupils travel to Motueka where they are involved in Technology classes ( MOTEC) for a period each week.

Upper Moutere School has a commitment to ICT and all rooms are fully networked. We have our own website and parents can subscribe to have our newsletter sent by email.

There is a dental clinic serviced by Nelson Marlborough Area Health Board. A wide range of outside agencies support the school and these include the Public Health Nurse, Dental Therapist, Police Education Officer, Community Youth Workers, Advisory Services, Speech Therapist and Group Special Education and the Motueka District Truancy Service.

Pre-school and day care facilities are available  in the area, while secondary school children travel to Motueka, Richmond, Stoke or Nelson.
