Eight kilometres north of Taupō's control gate bridge, nestled in a small village with a strong geothermal power history, Wairakei Primary School delivers a proud tradition of providing exemplary learning within an inclusive environment. Immensely proud of the partnerships, with parents, students, staff and community, Wairakei Primary School recognise that all groups make substantial contributions to the values, culture, expectations and standards that we have.

Our localised curriculum is closely aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum. We embrace our mission "to educate students with POWER to be confident learners"; our POWER values provide a vision of students 'Rising to Success'.
