Welcome to Raureka School
We are a primary school (Year 1-6) in Hastings in sunny Hawkes Bay.
At Raureka School we are committed to giving all our ākonga/students the best education possible. Our mission statement captures our approach to learning: “Confident, connected, curious children who strive for personal excellence”.
