To have the self-confidence to make a difference to my world.


 

Welcome to Horahora School.

Hora Hora School has proudly been part of the Horahora community for 115 years.

Our school is nestled beneath Mt Maungatautari, in the heart of rural Waikato. We have a current roll of 44 students from Years 1-8 and operate three classrooms.

Our learning programmes have a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy (with specific attention to the curriculum refresh - Te Mātaiaho). We also provide programmes with a local context, focussing on the environment, history, and education outside the classroom.

Our vision for all ākonga entering Horahora School at age 5, and leaving in Year 8, is that they will develop skills and dispositions that will enable them to transition seamlessly into High School and beyond.

Horahora School will support children to become confident and capable, life-long learners who can achieve their potential.

We treasure our community partnership and recognise that this is integral to our students’ success, as we strive to provide the best possible education for each and every child.

Ag Day - Week One Term Four
19 Sep 2025

Kia ora families,


Please see the digital copy of the Ag Day form that came home yesterday (with the grass seed) - please dig this out of your child's bag if they haven't given it to you yet. If participating in the grass heads activity, you will want to get the seeds planted fairly quickly. The Newsletter will be sent as a separate attachment through Skool Loop. Thank you for a fabulous Term Three. Have a wonderful break. See you all next term.
