KIA ORA AND WELCOME

Matamata Primary School is located in the heart of the Waikato, a town overlooked by the Kaimai Ranges and surrounded by rivers that flow through rolling green hills. Here we have created a nurturing environment that enables our children to learn and prosper across all aspects of education and development. Our guiding principles centre on our motto ‘Endeavour, Achieve Excel – Tohenga, Taea, Tino Hira. Together with support of our community and engagement of whanau, we deliver a platform that inspires learning to help build and shape our future generations.

Hohaia Street Entrance/Caretaker Shed Driveway

We have identified some dead branches in the trees along the driveway into the caretaker’s shed on Hohaia Street. The arborist has been informed and we are waiting for them to come and remove these.

Please avoid using this entrance in and out of school until this is resolved.
