School History
Manurewa East Primary opened in 1962 with 6 teachers' and 182 students. The roll reached a peak in 1969 with more than 625 students on the site and peaked again in 1996 with 630. The roll is now around 330 but may slowly increase as new housing comes on stream.

Set in spacious, sunny grounds, with an increasing number of beautiful trees, the school is fortunate in both it's facilities and the dedication of staff.

There are 3 permanent blocks, housing the classrooms, administration, library, computer suite and resource rooms. There are currently 5 relocatable classrooms. A swimming pool, dental clinic and hall are on site.

We have built new playgrounds, modernised and upgraded the administration area and purchased an extensive range of Information Technology. The Board, management and staff seek continual improvement of the quality of education it provides for it's students.
