Rowandale School is a Decile 1A, U7 multi-cultural school in the heart of Manurewa, Auckland, New Zealand. Our school roll continues to grow and currently we have 630 students. We celebrate all cultures at our school and our Vision is “We Grow Our People - Whakatipū o matou tangata".  

Our Mission is "We grow our people through Aroha and PRIDE as we Empower, Encourage, Engage each other along our path to Personal Excellence"

Our values which form our Rowandale PRIDE - Participation, Respect, Integrity, Determination and Empathy - reflect our focus on helping students to reach their potential in their learning and within themselves.​​​​​​​

Our school acknowledges the importance of first languages and are blessed to have established in 2023 a Niuean Bilingual Unit “Matala Mai - Aoga Ha Rowandale”, and 6 enrichment classes (3 Maori and 3 Samoan).

We welcome new students and their families with open arms, please feel free to come and visit us at our school office.
