Welcome to Alfredton School

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.

As part of our End of Year production relating to World War 2 we are wanting to commemorate family members of our students who fought in WW2. If you would like your child to acknowledge members of your family in this way could you email sharon@alfredton.school.nz with the names please. If you do have photos of the individuals we would be happy to have copies of those too. We need the relevant information by Wednesday 26th November.

We have some items of furniture that we no longer need. These include tables, chairs, desks and TV's. They are all in Kiwi room. Take a look at Pets Day tomorrow to see if there is something you would like. We are asking for a koha. Please see Val or myself if you are interested in any of the items. Not everything in the room is for sale so please see one of us before you take anything. We have tried to separate the things for sale from the items which will stay.
