Our Community

Manurewa South School is more than just a place of learning—it’s a whānau. We work closely with families to support the growth of the whole child: academically, socially, emotionally, and culturally. Our partnerships with local iwi, organisations, and support services help us provide meaningful opportunities for every learner.

Join Us

We welcome all families to be part of our learning journey. Whether you’re new to the area, a returning whānau, or simply want to know more about us, we invite you to visit, connect, and see the Manurewa South difference.
