Are there primary and secondary schools nearby for my kids?

Manapouri itself hosts a primary school that serves the town and surrounding rural areas, offering education from early years through to year 6. For secondary education, students usually travel to the larger town a short distance away, where the district provides a composite secondary school covering years 7‑13. Both schools follow the national curriculum and have programs that incorporate local environment studies. Information on enrollment, school zones and transport options can be found on the district’s education website or by contacting the school administration directly.
