Wharenui School is a Duffy School. Every year our children receive books from the Duffy Trust and our wonderful sponsor Owens Transport
Great Support
The Rewi Alley Chinese Centre is situated on our grounds and our year 4-8 children have the option of learning Mandarin in half hour sessions on Tuesdays.
Mandarin is promoted as being the language of the future. During the weekend, the Rewi Alley Centre uses our school for lessons and becomes the largest Chinese Language Centre in New Zealand.
Wharenui School has a great relationship with What Now. We often visit Whitebait Studios and take part in their shows as well as having film crews come to school and shoot on scene. To the right is Camilla the Gorilla being shot in Room 6.
