Auckland University Practicum

 Our School

Opening in 1954, Papakura Normal School was attached to the Ardmore Teachers’ College as a practice and demonstration school for teacher trainees.  The school is now associated with the former Auckland College of Education, now the Auckland University Epsom Campus. 

We have two Maori language enrichment units, Rooms 12 and 21, both with multi-level classes.  Y3- 4 are in Room 21 and Y5- 6 in Room 12.

The main school is made up of four planning teams:

Senior School: Year 7/8; Year 5/6

Junior  School.: Year 1/2; Year 3/4

The Principal of the school is Judy Morgan.  The Deputy Principal is Laurie Hodge and he has the responsibility for university students in our school.  The Deputy Principal in charge of the Junior School is Cathy Wilson. Glenys Mason is an Associate Principal and oversees programmes in the Senior School.
