Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Te Kura o Cobden School – a place where every child is known, every learner is valued, and every whānau belongs.
Nestled in the heart of Te Tai Poutini, we are proud to be a school that combines high expectations for learning with genuine care for every child. Our classrooms are places of curiosity, creativity, challenge, and success, where children are encouraged to discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Learning at Cobden School extends beyond the classroom. Our local environment, rich history, and strong community connections provide authentic opportunities for tamariki to explore, grow, and develop a deep sense of identity and belonging.
Everything we do is guided by our values of Manaakitanga (We Care), Mahi Ngātahi (We Cooperate), and Kōrero Mai (We Communicate). We encourage curiosity, creativity, resilience, and confidence so every learner can build respectful relationships, contribute positively to their community, and become confident, capable young people ready for the future.
Whether you're considering Cobden School for the first time or you're already part of our school whānau, we invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our school such a special place to learn, grow, and belong.
Me mahi tahi tātou mō te oranga o te katoa
We should work together for the wellbeing of everyone
Kia ora koutou,
It’s hard to believe we’re already into mid-September, with daylight saving less than two weeks away!
With spring now underway, this week’s Nutrition Bites looks at something that’s useful all year round: canned foods. Often thought of as emergency food, canned foods can also be useful everyday pantry staples that help make meals easier, reduce food waste, and provide flexibility when fresh ingredients aren’t available.
I also wanted to share that Nutrition Bites will be transitioning to a regional pānui for education settings. As we make this transition, I’d really appreciate your feedback on how useful you’ve found Nutrition Bites and what you’d like to see in future.
If you have a few minutes, please fill out the Nutrition Bites Feedback Survey – Nutrition Bites Survey 2026 – Fill out form
Your feedback will help us understand what has been useful and how we can make future content relevant and practical for your setting, parents, and whānau. As a thank you for your time, we have two $50 New World vouchers to give away in a prize draw.
Your survey responses are anonymous. If you choose to enter the prize draw, your name and phone number will only be collected for the purpose of contacting the two voucher winners.
Thank you for taking the time to read Nutrition Bites and for all the support and feedback over the years
Ngā mihi nui,
