We are collecting new or gently used blankets to support children in need this winter. Families are invited to send blanket donations to school by Wednesday 13th of May. They can be brought to the office for donation.

Please note that we can only accept blankets (no sheets, duvet covers, duvets or sleeping bags).

Thank you for helping us make a meaningful difference and supporting West Auckland children.

We have completed our lockdown exercise and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for. Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions. We would like to personally thank you for your support while we conduct these practices.

Waitakere Primary School is conducting a lockdown exercise. This is how you will be notified, should a lockdown occur at the school and office. Please refrain from contacting any staff at the school, as this could lead to distraction of their primary focus, which is caring for our students. Please refer to all further updates on our website.

Lockdown Practice -  Monday 4th May 2026

We will be conducting our scheduled lockdown PRACTICE on the morning of Monday 4th May under supervision of our emergency management consultants Harrison Tew. 

You will receive notification from the school via SKOOL LOOP on Monday when we go into lockdown and when we come out of lockdown.

Please do not visit or phone our school during this time as we will not be able to respond.  In a genuine incident your presence or contact may make it more difficult for us or the emergency services to manage the situation.

If you arrive at school late between 10am and 11am during the lockdown practice, we will not be able to let your child in.
