Haere Mai - Welcome to Parklands School
Kia ora and welcome to the Parklands School website. We are a multi cultural, community based school in central Motueka.
'Kia kotahi tātou katoa'
‘In the heart of the community, with the community at heart‛
At Parklands School we celebrate the close links we have with our whanau and the community. Our aim at Parklands School is to prepare all our tamariki for their future by providing a balanced education that enables their development within a caring environment and in partnership with the community.
