After many years of dedicated fundraising, our School and Community Pool was proudly completed in 2009. The facility includes:
A large 20m x 8m swimming pool
A smaller toddler pool for younger children
During the school swimming season and school holidays, pool keys are available for community use.
Keys are issued at a seasonal rate
A refundable key deposit is required
Our school library sits at the heart of Awahono School and is a wonderful space to explore, read, and relax. It is open throughout the school day, as well as before and after school.
Parents and caregivers are warmly invited to visit the library with their children to exchange books and enjoy the environment together..
We are proud of our well-maintained and engaging outdoor spaces, which include:
Two large hard-court areas
Extensive sports field
Playground and sandpit
Orchard and garden areas
Bike track, designed by our students and built with support from our parent community
These spaces are used for daily play, PE, sports, and outdoor learning activities.
Most of our students travel to school by bus. Awahono School owns and operates four school buses, servicing families within our Transport Entitlement Zone.
We are fortunate to have the flexibility to make route adjustments when needed, provided they are within budget and meet safety requirements. Our buses are also used to transport students to school trips, events, and learning experiences, helping reduce transport barriers for our families.
All school buses are fitted with seat belts, and their use is compulsory.
All children travelling by bus are required to wear a high-visibility bus vest, which is provided by the school.
These safety measures help ensure our students travel safely to and from school each day.
The school is visited annually by the Dental Caravan, providing routine dental check-ups and basic treatment for students.
Grey Valley Playcentre is located right here on our school grounds, providing early childhood education in a supportive, community-led environment.
