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.

Running Training

21 May 2025

As you will be aware we have a number of children representing Rural Schools at the upcoming Bush Cross Country. We have decided that we will continue to run on a daily basis in order to help those children prepare – but also to help maintain the fitness of all our students. We ask that children make sure they have appropriate footwear to run in (gumboots or crocs are not ideal) each day. Kind regards, The Alfredton School Teaching Team

Rural Schools Cross Country

14 May 2025

I just wanted to send a few reminders in advance of the Cross Country tomorrow. It is always a fun day - fingers crossed the weather plays ball!

Children need to wear their Alfredton School sports uniform. They should have their shorts and shirt on underneath their tracksuit. I have advised the children that even if they prefer to wear shorts all the time they should bring their tracksuit bottoms as well; they are likely to feel the cold more than usual after their race. Suitable running shoes are a must! If possible write the age of your child on their hand (I will also bring a pen just in case)

A large bottle of water is a good idea. There will be a sausage sizzle and there are often a few sweet treats to buy too.

Mrs Hill and Ocean will be meeting us at Kumeroa School; I am travelling on the bus with Rachael.

See you tomorrow :-)
