Welcome to Mt Albert Primary | Te Pa O Ruarangi
Naumai, welcome to Mt Albert Primary School / Te Pa o Ruarangi,
I have had the privilege of leading Mt Albert Primary School / Te Pa o Ruarangi over the past few years.
We are proud to provide a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where every student is actively encouraged to achieve our school Vision Statement: Being the best we can be.
Our professional and caring team of teachers, learning assistants, office and property staff are lifelong learners who strive to explore and provide opportunities to increase their understanding and knowledge of student’s needs and potential. There’s always something interesting happening at school!
We also value the important role that you, as parents / whānau, play in your child’s education. We warmly invite you to take part in school events, volunteer opportunities, and classroom activities—your involvement makes a big difference.
Whether you are new to our school or have been with us for years, we’re excited to have you here and look forward to a wonderful school journey together.
Marian Caulfield
Principal

Our People
He aha te mea nui o te ao.
He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.
What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, it is people, it is people.
We believe that people, and the strong relationships of trust that exist between them, are what makes a school and its students successful. Our school is supported by a variety of groups of people and we are proud to be part of such a thriving community.
We turned 150 years old in 2020!
