School Uniform 

Mangakino School requires that its students wear a school uniform. School uniforms keep students focused on their education, not their clothes. This creates a level playing field among students, reducing peer pressure and bullying. Wearing uniforms enhances school pride, unity, and community spirit.

Our school polo shirt and hoodie/polar fleece jersey is compulsory, along with any black pants or shorts. 

Our school jackets, track pants, and caps/beanies are optional. 

 You can purchase uniform items from the school office. 

We understand that many of our students live on farms and in out-of-town areas. To support our rural whānau and ensure every child has a reliable way to get to school, we provide a dedicated School Van Run.
