RPS Lunch Scheme
Please note: unfortunately Subway is not recommended for children with nut allergies as the products may contain traces of nuts. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but hope that affected students will still take the opportunity to enjoy sushi and sausage-sizzles. Walking School Bus
The walking bus system is very flexible with children taking the bus only when it suits them, not necessarily every day. There will always be at least two adults present - one as the 'driver' at the front of the bus, one as the 'conductor' at the back. Parents must complete a consent form before a child is allowed to travel with the bus. Due to the strict adult-child ratio, places on the walking bus are limited so phone to find out how to secure a place. Upon registration you will be issued with a route map, timetable, roster and walkers list. Parents should ensure that their children understand how the bus operates. After School Care with SKIDS
Before school care is available from 7:30am. The after school programme runs from 3-6pm daily, and school holiday programmes are also available. Daily Format:
Specific Projects:
Weekly themes are incorporated into the daily format. The daily format is an indication only of the types of activities the children will be involved with at any given time. Depending on the the children's enthusiasm and interest, it may be varied at the discretion of the staff. History of RPS
A new look - demolition of the 1909 main block of classrooms began in early 1981. This was the first step in the rebuilding of virtually the whole school. The new Remuera Primary School was opened in 1982. A new two storied eight classroom block was added in 1996. Sir Edmund Hillary opened the new additions. |

The first school in Remuera was a private Church of England school conducted in the original St Mark's Church, at that time situated on the corner of Remuera and Bassett Roads. It had a roll of 30-40 children and one teacher. It was used as a school until 1878. C. R Munro was the first Headmaster. The church building became very dilapidated and so a new school was built on the corner of Ridings Road and Remuera Road. The school roll grew rapidly. 
By 1906 the average attendance of children at school stood at 439, additional classrooms needed to be built. The existing site on the slopes of Mt Hobson was limited in area, a new site was found in Dromorne Road, the present site. The new school was opened in October 1909.
