Principal's Welcome

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

Ag Day and Gala Update

15 Oct 2026

First, I am sure there are many updates!

In class activities,

The upcycle activity doesn't need to be in a tin can... that was accidentally left over from last year. But if that's what you have run with, that is just fine!

If your upcycled item needs painting. We recommend you do this at home.

The notice also read funny. Think about the wind and rain and how it would affect the item you make... IT is for the outside of your house. Yes, you bring everything. We have glue et here.

Yes, you can make animals or some things to go on your scene on a tray, but the main construction should be done at school.

Please rerun the roster so we can update it and produce the final version.

We are still short of helpers, so please see if others can come and help.

We are also still looking for an animal judge.

Please ask classroom teachers for any help you need.

Regards
