Kia ora, nisa bula, talofa, malo e’lelei, kia orana, kamusta and namaste! Welcome to Stanhope Road School.
It’s a great honour to be the principal of this amazing school. Our beautiful school is filled with passionate people who are dedicated to providing the best learning opportunities and experiences to the tamariki/children at Stanhope.
Our staff build connections and relationships and will always put the students’ needs first to ensure they have every opportunity to reach their potential. They are committed to bringing passion and energy to ensure Stanhope is the ‘School of Choice’ for all learners. Our team work hard to create an environment that is fun, engaging and learning-focused.
Students care about each other, themselves and the environment. We love to celebrate the successes of each individual child and empower the students to be ‘Friends, Learners and Guardians’.
The School Board and the Parent Group are incredibly active in our school community and strive to support all the students to give them the best deal possible. We are a well-resourced school.
Our School Vision and Values underpin our drive and aspirations for not only the students and staff but the community as well. Home-school engagement is crucial for the success of our tamariki/children. By working in partnership we build strong, productive connections that support the learning goals of our tamariki/children.
We look forward to you and your child joining the Stanhope Road School whānau. Together we can provide an environment for your child where they will thrive and succeed in this ever-changing, fast-moving world.

A big thank you to Michael’s Ave Community Centre (Ellerslie Football Club) for generously providing the venue. Their bar will be open on the night – EFTPOS or payWave only (no cash). We also thank Pizza Boyz Ellerslie for supporting this event.
Doors open at 7:30pm, with the quiz starting promptly at 8:00pm.
You can register a team of eight in advance to reserve a table by emailing parent.group@stanhope.school.nz or simply come along on the night and find an available seat to join a team with others. We can’t wait to see you there for a great night of laughs, connection and community spirit.

Winter Wellness – Free online GP Consultations
Thu Aug 20 04:23pmMālō e lelei,
Sharing with you the below regarding some new care options available to tamariki and their whānau as we experience high levels of sickness across our communities.
Online GP care now free for all under-14s
With lots of winter illnesses about right now, health services are experiencing very high demand. If you need to speak to a GP and can’t get in to your usual doctor or its after hours, Online GP provides a great option for accessing safe and quick care. The service is available from anywhere in the country, anytime day or night, and is now free for all under-14s.
Appointments usually take place through a video app or a phone call, and the service can prescribe medicine and send prescriptions to your nearest pharmacy.
It also provides another care option for rural communities, reducing the need to travel.
