Policies & Procedures
Maruia School is located in the heart of the Maruia Valley and is made up of nineteen students, seven staff, six board of trustees members, a fantastic PTA and an exceptionally supportive community.
Our vision is to realise each child’s unique potential so that they may find success. This is shown by the way we work together as a school and community to support our students to thrive while in our care.
We learn about our school values of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, arohatanga and whanaungatanga and practise these every day. These values are the backbone of the culture of our school.

Kia ora e te whānau,
NZEI strike on Thursday 23 October 2025
NZEI Te Riu Roa has confirmed a nationwide strike on Thursday 23 October 2025 involving primary teachers, principals and many school staff across Aotearoa. This is part of ongoing negotiations about safe staffing, support for learners with additional needs, and fair pay.
What this means for us at Maruia School
School will be closed for instruction on Thursday 23 October 2025 because we will not have enough staff on site to operate safely. Please make alternative arrangements for your child(ren) on that day. Note: Many other schools are taking the same step due to staffing levels during the strike.
Normal school resumes on Friday 24 October.
Why are educators taking action?
Educators are calling for improvements so we can better support our tamariki, such as manageable class sizes, adequate support for students with additional needs, time to do the job well, and pay that keeps pace with living costs.
We know this may cause disruption for some families and appreciate your understanding and support as we work towards the best outcomes for our learners.
If you have any questions, please get in touch.
Ngā mihi nui,
Alex
