Kia ora Parents and Whānau, As part of our commitment to keeping our school community safe, we will be holding a practice lockdown drill on Tuesday 4th August at approximately 12.15-12.30. Just like our regular fire and earthquake drills, practicing a lockdown helps our staff and tamariki know what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency. How we present this to tamariki: We take a gentle, low-stress approach with our students. To keep children calm and reassure them, we frame this drill as a routine safety practice—explaining that lockdowns can happen for simple reasons, such as a swarm of bees on the playground or severe weather. Teachers will do a walkthrough with their classes beforehand so everyone knows what to expect. If you have any questions or concerns about the upcoming drill, please feel free to reach out to your child's classroom teacher or the school office. Nga mihi, Papamoa Primary School

Another fantastic day at the annual Year 3/4/5 Netball Tournament! 🏐💙💛 So cool to see our young talent out there proudly representing Papamoa Primary, giving their all and showing off the skills they've been developing on Saturdays. And what a beautiful day for it! ☀️ A nice change from previous years at Tauranga Netball Centre, where we've battled sideways rain and never seemed to have enough layers on! A huge thank you to our amazing parent coaches, managers and supporters who make days like this possible. We also want to give a special shout-out to our fantastic Papamoa College umpires, AmyJane and Jorja, for giving up their time to support our players. We really appreciate you all!

Tough Guy & Gal 2026... DONE! 🏃‍♂️💪🟤 What an awesome morning! Our 71 Papamoa Primary students tackled the mud and obstacles with huge smiles and plenty of laughs! There was even a baby eel in someone's shoe... yes, you read that right – an eel! 🐍👟 If that isn't a true Kiwi event, we don't know what is! The students came back absolutely covered in mud and looking like they'd had the time of their lives. So many fantastic memories were made with their school mates, and we're sure they'll be talking about today for a long time to come. A massive thank you to our amazing parent helpers and supporters who helped make the day possible. We couldn't do it without you! And finally... good luck with the washing tonight, parents and caregivers! 😅🧺 Some video to come.
