Welcome to Te Hihi School, a primary school located in the beautiful rural area of Hingaia, New Zealand. Established in 1914, our institution has a rich history of providing quality education to generations of students.

At Te Hihi School, our mission is to create a community that empowers confidence in all learners, encouraging them to embrace learning, achieve their personal best, take risks, and become lifelong learners. This mission is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every student receives a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in the future.

Although we are situated in a rural area, our student body is diverse and comes from a variety of backgrounds. From those who live on rural residential properties to those in the nearby village of Kingseat and urban areas like Hingaia and Papakura, our school truly represents the wider community.
