Welcome to Hora Hora School.

Nestled beneath Mt Maungatautari in the heart of rural Waikato. We have a current roll of 41 from year 0-8 operating 3 classrooms. Programmes have a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy.

Agricultural Day


Hora Hora School's annual agricultural day is a cherished event that exemplifies the deep connection between the school and its community. This special day, held each year in the heart of the picturesque countryside, brings together students, teachers, parents, and local residents in a celebration of rural life and the importance of agriculture.

The Hora Hora School community wholeheartedly embraces this event, with families and teachers working tirelessly to prepare their children's animals and projects for display. This event not only fosters a sense of togetherness but also imparts vital life lessons about sustainability, responsibility, and the significance of agriculture in their lives.

The Hora Hora School agricultural day serves as a living testament to the enduring bond between the school and its community, where traditions are upheld, knowledge is shared, and a love for the land is passed down through the generations.

Happy Holidays
13 Apr 2024

Happy school holidays - no morning lunch boxes for two weeks, hooray!  Good luck to those participating in the Hora-Hora Hare Hunt this weekend.

I just wanted to send a final email, to say a huge thank you to everyone of their kindness and support over the term.  We do not always have the flashiest things like the big schools, but we have something far more special than that.  A school that feels like a family.  A place where everyone knows everyone, and a community that backs our little school like nothing else.  I am so grateful for the last 11 weeks, it's been a joy and your children are all truly delightful in all their different ways.  I was a bit overwhelmed yesterday to articulate how grateful I am for this opportunity, how much I have learned, and how happy I am with the trajectory of our lovely little school.
And now, it is time for me to catch up on all my other to-do's.  An early alarm for milking this morning reminded me that I am a farmer once more.

Mrs Synge is eager to get back to school, she is in this week to meet with the teachers to plan for Term 2, and we will do a final handover on Wednesday.  From this point on, if you need to contact me, please email ksteeghs@horahoracambridge.school.nz

Mrs Synge will send the Term Dates when they are finalised, but here are some upcoming dates for the start of Term 2:

  • April 29th - Term Two Begins
  • May 6th - Planting Day at Bridget and George Dallinger's Farm
  • May 7th - School Photos
  • May 13 - 17th - Wellington Camp

Thank you so much, I will miss my school days!

Triathlon Reminder
8 Apr 2024

Kia Ora Families,

Just a quick reminder before tomorrows triathlon ????

Please remind your children to bring:

  • Swimming gear
  • Covered shoes
  • Warm clothes to put on afterwards

If you are coming to watch, please could you give your child's bike a quick check pre-race to make sure the chain is on, and wheels are pumped - that would be very helpful.  We have some spare school bikes for those that need them.


Thank you.
