Welcome to Maraetai Beach School

In 2025, our team is committed to providing excellent education in a supportive environment.

I hope every child feels a sense of being “Ko au te Maraetai, te Maraetai ko au” —Maraetai is me and I am Maraetai. Together with whānau and the community, we help every child feel valued and achieve their best.
