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

Kia ora koutou,
Welcome back to Term 4! I hope everyone had a chance to recharge over the school holidays and is feeling ready for the final stretch of the year.
This week’s Nutrition Bites features the mighty eggs, one of those foods that quietly earns its place in the fridge. They are versatile, packed with a range of nutrients, and can be a handy ingredient for quick meals and snacks. I’ve included some ideas for using eggs, along with an easy veggie egg muffin recipe that can be enjoyed warm or kept in the fridge for lunches and snacks.
I’m also inviting you to take a few minutes to complete the Nutrition Bites Feedback Survey.
As Nutrition Bites gets a refresh and evolves into a new form as part of a regional pānui for education settings, your feedback will help shape what this looks like and what content would be most useful for settings, parents, and whānau.
As a small thank you for your time, we have two $50 New World vouchers to give away in a prize draw. You can use the link above, or simply scan the QR code in the survey flyer included with this email.
Your feedback will be really valuable as we think about how to carry the useful parts of Nutrition Bites forward into the new newsletter format.
Thank you
