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.
