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.

Thinking about Calf Club?

7 Jul 2026

We’re getting ready for Calf Club season, and kid goats and lambs will soon be available from farms!

If your child would like to rear a goat or lamb this year, get in touch with the farmers below. It’s a great way to learn responsibility, animal care, and have fun.

Interested in becoming a judge? 

We’re always looking for keen people to learn. No experience needed—training and support are provided.
See the information below for details on rearing animals and learning to judge. Feel free to share this post with anyone who may be interested.

Thanks
