Tauwhare School

Welcome to Tauwhare School, a rural state primary school nestled at the foot of the stunning Scotsman Valley in New Zealand. Located just a short 10-15 minute drive from Hamilton, Cambridge, and Morrinsville, our school offers a unique and picturesque learning environment.

Although traditionally a farming area, Tauwhare has experienced significant growth with the development of numerous rural subdivisions. As a result, our school community is diverse and vibrant, reflecting the changing demographics of the area.

At Tauwhare School, our mission is to provide a balanced yet challenging education for all students, enabling them to reach their full potential. We have a dedicated team of educators who are committed to providing extra assistance to those who require extension or additional support. Our staff includes a Reading Recovery Teacher, Literacy Extension Teacher, and I.T. Specialist, ensuring that every student receives the individual attention they need to thrive.

In addition to our comprehensive academic program, we offer a range of extracurricular activities to enrich our curriculum. Students have the opportunity to participate in guitar and drums classes during school hours, allowing them to explore their musical talents. We also run an Out of School Care Programme before and after school, providing a safe and engaging environment for our students.

Creating a positive and inclusive student environment is of utmost importance to us at Tauwhare School. We have a zero tolerance policy towards bullying and swearing, ensuring that every child feels safe and respected. Our school playgrounds are designed to keep children active during breaks, and we have an Ambassador Team and Sports Leaders who actively promote a happy and fulfilling playground experience for all students.

Embracing the rich rural heritage of our community, we uphold beloved traditions such as Calf Club. This annual event allows our students to gain hands-on experience in caring for animals, plants, and nature, fostering a deep appreciation for the environment.

We also offer a Before School Care Programme in our Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) from 7:30 am, providing a convenient option for families who require early drop-off.

Whether you are a local resident or considering a move to the area, we invite you to explore all that Tauwhare School has to offer. We are proud to be a leading primary school in New Zealand, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can thrive.
