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

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. We also provide programmes with a local flavour focussing on the environment, history, and Outdoor Education.

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.

What's Happening - Term 4, Week 9

6 Dec 2024

Well the weeks are certainly flying by. There are not too many days left in the school calendar, but still so much to do!

All classroom placements should have been received for 2024. We will be moving classrooms in the final week of school.

This coming week we will be farewelling four students early as they are heading away early. For this reason we have brought forward our end of year Fun Day to Wednesday to ensure we can celebrate our year with all students. There has been high demand for a 'wheels day'. Students can bring along something with wheels for our fun day - rollerblades, scooters, bikes etc, and we will have all of the school bikes here for use too. There will be pool fun, a waterslide and hopefully a visit from Santa. Please send along a plate of kai for a shared morning tea.

On December 17th, our PTA is holding a Softball and Carols night. See the flyer attached - all welcome!

A huge thank you to Maria, Bridget, Michelle, Kate, Simon and Ash for completing even more hours in our outdoor classroom, it's looking great!

Please begin returning all library books before the end of year,

Thank you!
