Our Community

Ararimu School is a key part of the Ararimu community and has been for more than 125 years!

We are proud to support and be supported by the following people and organisations:

Before and After School Care.

Care is available before and after school. Arrangements are to be directly with the two people who run the sessions. Payment is also organised with them personally as this service is not directly run by the school.

Playgroup:
Sessions are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9am - 12pm in the Ararimu Hall. Look for the sign on the front of the hall. Contact Robyn 2924032 or 021 750 845.

Social Club:
Held regularly throughout the year, this is a family evening held in the Ararimu Hall. It is a great way of meeting Ararimu families especially if you are new to the community.

There is a full bar with bar snacks available. The children watch movies and play games while the parents network and chat. The Social Club is currently operated by the Ararimu Residents and Ratepayers Association.

COMMUNITY USE OF THE GROUNDS AND FACILITIES

Our grounds are open for community use. Please no motorized vehicles in the grounds at any time unless on school business.

Please have all dogs on leashes if you need to have them in the school grounds, as some of our children and adults have a fear of dogs. If bringing animals onto the grounds, we would appreciate you cleaning up after your animals as it is a children’s learning/play environment. There are to be no dogs in the pool area.

People using the grounds out of school hours do so at their own risk and we ask that the grounds are treated with respect. Please note the signs displayed around the school and leave only your footsteps behind.
