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.

Items For Sale

5 Nov 2025

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.

Photos

27 Oct 2025

Ms Thorburn is needing 1) photos of any family members who fought in a war, 2) photos of your children on the farm e.g. with their animals, on a tractor, working on the farm. These will be used in our production. If you could email them to her at sharon@alfredton.school.nz that would be great. Thank you.
