Tēnā koutou katoa!

Ko Paul Sadler tōku ingoa.
Haere mai ki te Kura o Mangapapa! Welcome to Mangapapa School!
I am Paul Sadler, the proud Principal of Mangapapa School. For over 120 years, our school has built a strong reputation—one earned through dedication, not inheritance.
At Mangapapa, we believe learning should be rich, explicit, and holistic. Our Curriculum Awa nurtures the whole child, supporting their hauora and helping them succeed in learning and life. Every MKid is unique, and we celebrate their passions, interests, and strengths, ensuring each finds their place in the Mangapapa School Success Pie.
Our modern learning spaces reflect our children’s diverse needs, offering flexible environments beyond the traditional ‘one size fits all’ model. Variety enhances engagement, and our spaces provide just that.
We value Mahi Tahi (Collaboration)—strong partnerships between home and school. By working together, we create the best pathways for our MKids’ learning and well-being.
Our commitment is simple: to provide the very best for our MKids, because they deserve nothing less.
Together, we will REACH for the stars, where learning has no limits!
Paul Sadler (Mangapapa School Principal)
"TODAY’S schools need to be educating not just for assessment results but for life-long learning. To thrive in the 21st century, it is not enough to leave school with a clutch of exam certificates. Pupils need to have learned to be tenacious and resourceful, imaginative and logical, self-disciplined and self aware, collaborative and inquisitive."
(Guy Claxton)
At Mangapapa School our approach to teaching and learning centres around the concept of the whole child. Whilst foundation skills in Literacy and Numeracy are highly valued and considered, of equal importance within our Mangapapa School Curriculum is the Hauora/Well-being of our MKids, through the teaching of our REACH Learning Values (Learning to Be) and our Learning Assets (Learning to Learn) through rich learning opportunities.
At Mangapapa School we REACH for the stars where learning has no limits!
