We are a small rural country school in the Tararua District which caters for children from Years 0 to 8.
The school has a long tradition, having been established in 1887. It has progressed from its early beginnings and proudly offers excellent learning opportunities within a family based atmosphere. Our school is a very special place and thrives in a caring and supportive community.
Our motto is ‘Little Acorns to Mighty Oaks’. Our motto is based around the 80 year old oak trees which line the original entrance to our wonderful school. We encourage all of our children to uphold our MIGHTY values of being motivated, inclusive, giving respect, honesty, teamwork and you persevere.
Thank you for taking the time to see what a great school we have in our peaceful and idyllic haven. Please drop in anytime to see us in action.

Please can everyone ensure that all Pets Day and AgriKids notices are returned by Tuesday. We need to know who is / who isn't bringing a pet. This helps us to organise the day efficiently. If you have mislaid the form, email Val with your entry / tell us that your child is not bringing a pet.
AgriKids registrations have opened. They are limited to 35 teams so it is imperative that forms are returned so that your child's team can secure a place. I will enter your child's team once everyone in that team has returned their permission slip.
Thanks.
Congratulations to those elected.
Parents, please support our local businesses
