Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Te Kura o Cobden School – a place where every child is known, every learner is valued, and every whānau belongs.
Nestled in the heart of Te Tai Poutini, we are proud to be a school that combines high expectations for learning with genuine care for every child. Our classrooms are places of curiosity, creativity, challenge, and success, where children are encouraged to discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Learning at Cobden School extends beyond the classroom. Our local environment, rich history, and strong community connections provide authentic opportunities for tamariki to explore, grow, and develop a deep sense of identity and belonging.
Everything we do is guided by our values of Manaakitanga (We Care), Mahi Ngātahi (We Cooperate), and Kōrero Mai (We Communicate). We encourage curiosity, creativity, resilience, and confidence so every learner can build respectful relationships, contribute positively to their community, and become confident, capable young people ready for the future.
Whether you're considering Cobden School for the first time or you're already part of our school whānau, we invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our school such a special place to learn, grow, and belong.

Kia ora Cobden whānau,
Following a further assessment of our school this morning, we have found that our beloved school hall has been flooded.
Unfortunately, this means tonight’s Matariki Disco has been cancelled.
In addition, a number of our staff are unable to safely travel to work due to the flooding. After carefully considering the situation, the Board has decided that Cobden School will be closed today in the best interests of the safety of our tamariki, whānau, and staff.
We know this will be disappointing, especially for those looking forward to the disco, but safety must come first.
Thank you for your understanding. Please stay safe, take care on the roads, and look after one another.
Parents, please support our local businesses
