Our
School
Rhode
Street School is located in the south western Hamilton suburb
of Dinsdale. The school was established in 1959 and caters
from Year 0 to Year 8 students.
The
school has a mix of renovated and new learning spaces, comprised
of 10 well resourced classrooms, a refurbished library and
computer suite, a new community hall, a George Parkin Gifted
and Talented Centre, a Out of School Care Centre, and a swimming
pool.
We
have a Year 4 to 8 bi-lingual class restricted to twenty two
students, a kaiawhina and a kaiako.
The
grounds are very attractive and provide a pleasant school
environment for staff, students and parents, with the extensive
shaded areas provided by beautiful well established trees,
and an expansive field, large asphalt court and attractive
cobble stone paving.
Our
school is multi-cultural in its composition with children
attending the school coming from Korea, the Congo, India,
United States of America, Australia, the Cook Islands, Tonga,
China, as well as our Maori and European Kiwis.
Our
school continues to grow in size, but with our commitment
to low class numbers of 1:15 in the first three years of schooling
and an average of 1:22 in our middle and senior school, we
are maintaining our family atmosphere that makes our school
an attractive choice for your child. Our board and staff are
committed to continuous improvement, clear boundaries and
high expectations, and expect all our children to care with
us for our values. |
