| 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

Dear Parents/Caregivers
RRS Schools Athletics Day for the Whole School on Friday, the 13th November at Centennial Park
On 13 November, the whole school will attend the RRS Athletics Day at Centennial Park in Wellsford. This is the other RRS event that our school runs. As Tauhoa is running events that day, we need parent assistance. If you are able to assist in any way, please advise us as soon as possible by completing the information below. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Children will need to bring lunch, a drink, a hat, sunblock, and money if they would like to make a food/drink purchase at the event. Please keep money in a named purse/bag and give it to the teacher/adult to keep safe if needed.
Drinks, sausages, ice blocks and home baking will be available for sale. We will be taking a bus to and from Wellsford if we cannot arrange other transport. But we will also need people to help transport equipment.
Please complete the forms in the forms section or on the paper copy that came home today and send them to school.
Vivienne Goldsmith, Principal
