| Tena Koutou Tena Koutou Tena Koutou Katou Welcome to all new and existing families to Tauhoa School |
Tauhoa School has a long history of educating children in this area for over 140 years. It was rebuilt in 2010. Our multi-purpose room and new library, Atuanui, were completed in 2017.
Our school operates an open-door policy and has a warm, approachable staff.
It is our firm belief that working with families enables us to provide an opportunity for children to develop into happy, well educated, lifelong learners.
Our school promotes the demonstration of Tauhoa Citizenship through “Doing your Tauhoa BEST”. Students are explicitly taught expectations and how to Be Respectful, Empathic, Self-aware, and Trustworthy.
Tauhoa School promotes learning with our learning tools or learner dispositions. We want all our learners to be: Resilient, Responsible, Inquisitive, Self-motivated and Collaborative.
Our school enjoys a supportive community with spirit and a passion to do the best for our tamariki, our children. Our school relishes the environment in which we live in and promotes the care of our land.
Whilst continuing to celebrate our traditional rural background, we also seek to create a 21st century learning environment. We want our students to be prepared for the future whilst celebrating their history.
I look forward to working and learning alongside you, and your family, at Tauhoa.
Vivienne Goldsmith,
Principal

We are now fundraising, with doughnuts as a key driver.
These are Krispy Kreme doughnuts and are a great price compared with those in the BP station.
Any money raised in the Te Pahi classroom will go towards their trip. If the money is raised by the school students in other classrooms, the money goes towards our new sports shed and equipment
Forms went home with the trending @ Tauhoa this week. Orders are due back by the 22nd July, and donuts will be ready to pick up from school on Friday, 31st July.
I have attached copies of forms

Greetings Whanau
Casual Vacancy for a Parent Representative
A casual vacancy has occurred on the Tauhoa School Board for an elected parent representative.
The Board has resolved under section 120 of the Education and Training Act 2020 to fill this vacancy by selection.
What does this mean?
Instead of running a full by-election, the Board will review expressions of interest from our community and select a new member to join us.
However, our school community has the right to request a by-election instead. If 10% or more of eligible voters on the school roll ask the Board to hold a by-election within 28 days of this notice being published, a by-election will be held.
Closing date for requests: Any request for a by-election must be made in writing and received by the Board no later than Monday, 27 July 2026.
Please send any requests to:
The Presiding Member, Tauhoa School Board
Interested in joining the Board?
If no by-election is requested by the community, the Board will proceed with the selection process.
School board members play a vital role in setting the strategic direction of Tauhoa School, supporting our teaching staff, and ensuring the best possible outcomes for all our tamariki. We welcome interest from anyone with a passion for our school, strategic thinking, and a willingness to contribute.
If you are interested in being considered for this vacancy, or if you would like to have an informal chat about what the role involves, please contact us at 094225722 or by email to office@tauhoa.school.nz. We will then send you an information pack to apply for selection.
Regards
Tauhoa School Board
