| 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

Parent Alert Notice
Dear Parent/Carer,
Head lice have been detected in the school. The parents of all students are being notified. It is extremely important for you to check your child’s head for head lice TODAY. If you do find head lice, commence treatment immediately and be sure to complete the process of treatment. This will help prevent head lice from spreading. Remember to keep checking your family member’s head every 2 days until no head lice are found for 10 consecutive days. For further information regarding treating head lice, refer to the Department of Health’s Head Lice fact sheet.
Your local pharmacist can provide advice regarding head lice treatment options and head lice combs. Because head lice spread only through close head-to-head contact, teachers will discourage students from activities that may involve head-to-head contact to reduce the spread of head lice. To reduce your child’s risk of getting head lice, make sure long hair is tied up, discourage children from sharing brushes and combs, and limit head-to-head contact with others.
Remember - Anyone can get head lice – they have no preferences for cleanliness, hair colour, hair type, ethnicity or age.
We have a small stock of treatment shampoo and combs available through the office if you need some.
Regards
Jody Otway
