A Warm Welcome

We are committed  to delivering a modern  and engaging curriculum that  encourages our young people  to be independent and  critical thinkers,  well  able  to  cope  with  the  challenges  of  modern   society  beyond  our  school  gates.   We  have  a deliberate  emphasis on tailoring the learning of each individual student to ensure our young people achieve EXCELLENCE at their level.
At Patea Area School we believe that education is about  success across a wide range of activities. A visit to the school will reveal good  facilities that support academic endeavours and a wide range of opportunities in sport, culture and the arts.

We are  extremely proud  that  our  learning  environment has  a strong  sense  of family, community  and  of belonging.  This website will give you some  insight into the  high quality educational, cultural and  sporting  opportunities Patea Area School has to offer. You will see students enjoying themselves and gain a sense of how focussed we are as a school in helping young people to be successful.

It is with pride that we invite you to contact  the school and see for yourself the well rounded  education that Patea Area School has to offer. We would be happy to organise a visit at a time convenient  to you.
