Elm Park is a state primary school in the heart of Pakuranga Heights, in East Auckland. It describes itself as a community school, with its motto Whakamana te ākonga hei angitu, which means empowering all learners to achieve their personal best.
The school follows the New Zealand Curriculum and runs a strong character education programme built around its core values. Alongside the academic programmes it puts weight on students' interpersonal skills, and digital technology is used across classes. It also offers before and after school care through Bizzy Bodz. Families are invited to the PTA Colour Fun Run on 14 November 2026, from 2pm to 4pm. Our view is that Elm Park is a settled, family-focused option for primary schooling in Pakuranga Heights.
