OUR STAFF...
Vanessa Pitt, Principal
I have been the Principal of Ruahine School since April 2006. One of the things I love most about our school are the students. Friendly, happy and outgoing - they make it a pleasure to come to work each day. Another strength of our school is our parent and wider community. I am constantly amazed by the high level of support we receive from our local community. We are all working together to ensure the best possible outcomes for all of our students, both academically, socially and culturally.
