Built on respect, driven by growth, and grounded in our rural place.


 

Welcome to Horahora School.

Horahora 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.

Kia ora,

I hope you’re all staying dry out there—it looks like the weather has well and truly set in for the long haul!

Since it’s the perfect day to stay rugged up indoors with a warm cuppa, why not take a moment to flick through this week’s Newsflash? There is plenty of great information tucked inside to keep you busy while you wait for the rain to clear.

Stay cozy!
