We are a Decile 6, Year 1-8 full primary school situated 20km south of Palmerston North on State Highway 57 with five classrooms. The school roll is made up of; 51% European, 44% Māori, and 5% other ethnicities. We have seen significant growth in the past few years, and as a result an Enrolment Scheme was implemented in 2018. While Tokomaru School is at the northern end of the Horowhenua District, the majority of our families’ travel to Palmerston North for work and/or services.
The school community is a mix of rural and village families. As a rural school, considerable reliance is placed on parent and community involvement. Tokomaru School does not ask for a school donation from our families. Instead we ask for support from parents in non-monetary, ways. We appreciate the ongoing support we get from members of our community, who help enhance the educational opportunities of our students. We have strong links with all local community groups and local businesses, who so willingly support our school.

Officially starting today, the NZ government has brought in new regulations for schools around cellphone usage.
At Tokomaru School, we have had rules in place that align with this anyway so no changes for us. A summary of these as below:
-If a student needs to bring a cellphone to school (e.g. shared care arrangements), it is to be handed in to the Office upon arrival at school (and then collected at the end of the day; following our Cyber Safety Policy and Procedures, our ICT User Agreements and BYOD/digital responsibility contracts).
-If you need to get a message to your child/ren during the school day, you can text, email, use Facebook Messenger, send a message through the Skool Loop app, or phone us (and leave a message if needed).
We appreciate your continued cooperation and support with this. It would be great if you could discuss this change with your child/ren, as we have done at school. Please get in touch with your child’s classroom teacher or myself if you have any questions.
