Story

Papakura Normal Primary School is a full primary school situated in Papakura, approximately 30 km south of Auckland City. We cater for students from Year 1 to Year 8 (children aged 5 - 12).

We have a current roll of approximately 657 pupils. Our school community draws from a wide range of cultural backgrounds including Maori, European, Polynesian, Asian, Indian and other ethnicities.

The school originally opened in 1953 as Papakura North School, situated on the boundary of the Papakura Military Camp.

In 1958, we became affiliated to Ardmore Teachers College and our name was officially changed to "Papakura Normal School".

The word 'Normal' represented the French word 'normale' which means teaching school. At that time a model country school was set up on the premises and operated as an independent "school within a school". This was to provide opportunities for student teachers to experience teaching in a small rural environment. We still have the Models area within our school today and it is a unique feature of our school.

They chase you about the absence of your child. Not knowing we keep them at home because the school bullies continue to happen in their school and they ignore it. Until one day a parent is fed up and do something they shouldn't! GET WITH IT PAPAKURA NORMAL AND TEACH THE FRONT RECEPTIONS TO SMILE OR LEAVE THEIR JOB IF THEY HATE IT! its a PRIMARY School which there should be heaps of smiling faces from grown adults working there. Not to forget the racism in this school. Not a happy parent who's child continues to go to this school.

Tried to do an application for enrolling my son this year all there online website and social media information needs to be updated I called the 09 295 0530 and the desk person who answered continued to be rude and interrupt me whilst I was talking said there were 700 children enrolled now there fb account says there are 657and there school website says 616. I am glad they can’t take pupils because I would have done the silly mistake to enrol my son here with adults who do not know how to speak in a professional manner to other adults. Definitely wouldn’t want my children to learn from these adults.

I love this school but PNS need to have k pop things as well

Papakura Normal Primary School offered my child efficient grounding in preparing for school life. He was lucky enough to have had the same phenomenal teacher in  both years 5 & 6. Lois you'll be so proud of all that your boy has accomplished in & outside of the classroom. Lois you always believed in him & he's never forgotten this. Always remember that you are a wonderful person & I am so grateful & honoured that I was given the opportunity to help you in your class. Arohanui

My Siblings and i were student at this school. My eldest attended and 2 more of my kids are attending this school also though my 2nd eldest only has a year and a bit left. Principal of many years has retired and few teachers we once had are still there too.

I used to go there and it was the best years ever until I had to move away to onewhero. I miss my friends but I made the most of my time there and this school is amazing and I hope you send your child or children there so they can have a much fun as I did.

Holy sweet Jason on a corn dog just went to one of these here school thing and hot damn I swear on a pig riding a rocket ship these here places teach you how to read I was amazed so I contacted the government about this and they said “well yeah it’s a school” so I thought I have to go to these places more often. 5 stars easy

Huge playground and the auditorium is perfect for the weekly Taekwondo class for my kids

my maths teacher in 2016 ate all our candy and then said there was none left :
