Te Atatū Peninsula schools: A simple guide for families.

By Tihana Vlasich

Moving to Te Atatū Peninsula with kids? Our “simple” guide to the local schools and why they’re a core part of our “human” community.

When families are looking to buy, “What are the schools like?” is the first question they ask.

As your local Te Atatū team, we’re parents too. We get it. The “Pen” is a fantastic place for families, and our local schools are a huge part of the “human” community.

A “human” village of schools

We are “honestly” lucky. We have a full set of “approachable” and high-quality schools right here on the Peninsula, from pre-school all the way up.

  • Matipo Primary
  • Rutherford Primary
  • Te Atatū Peninsula Intermediate
  • Rutherford College

The “lifestyle” win

The biggest “lifestyle” win is that “honestly,” most kids can walk or bike to school. It “takes the hard work out of” the morning rush and gives kids a “simple,” safe independence that you just can’t get in other suburbs.

It’s “energetic.” You see the “walking school bus” heading up the street. It’s that “human,” “approachable” community vibe that we all love.

We’re here to help. If you’re a family looking to buy on “the Pen,” you need an agent who “honestly” gets it. Give us a bell. We can help you find the right home, close to the right school, for your family.
