Holi Celebration

So much colour and fun on the field on Friday 22 March as students, staff and the community came together to celebrate Holi!

Plenty of photos of all the action can be found here

Thanks to the fire service for coming out for the afternoon and to Ms Jansz for all the organisation.

Cookie Dough Fundraiser

Our Frozen Cookie Dough Fundraiser to raise funds for Structured Literacy resources has closed.

Thank you for setting up a page and sharing it with friends and family. 

As the fundraiser is over, Go Raise has sent us a report of the sales. On the 11th of April,  you are welcome to pick up your orders from 1 pm onwards from the school hall. Please bring along id or the order summary sent to you so we can ensure the process is smooth.

Thanks for your support that makes a difference to our tamariki.


Haere mai ki a koutou katoa – a warm welcome to Arahoe School. 

We are a vibrant and dynamic multicultural school in New Lynn, West Auckland. We like to give our ākonga/students every opportunity to explore, grow and succeed in all areas – not just the core curriculum areas of literacy and maths. We are passionate about science, history, technology and the arts as well as physical pursuits, and our students are given a wonderful variety of contexts in which to find out how to be the best version of themselves. Diversity is welcome here and every student's uniqueness is valued, nurtured and celebrated.

I am lucky enough to work with a team of outstanding educators and support staff, backed by a talented and dedicated School Board.

I look forward to seeing your child, you, and your whānau around our school over your time here. 

Ngā mihi nui / warm regards
