Principal's Welcome

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

Transport to Parkiri for cross country

Hi whanau

We are still trying to organise transport to Parkiri, so if you haven't already, please fill in the form in the Forms section to let us know whether your child needs to take the bus or if you're planning to come and can help transport other students.

LAST CHANCE - For Ballet tickets

3 Sep 2026

We need to confirm numbers by tomorrow lunchtime, so if you wish for your child to attend, please sign the form in the Skool Loop forms section

We have been offered 40 tickets to a matinee performance of this production.

Since it isn't everyone's taste, we are making this an optional event on a first-come, first-served basis.

It will cost each child $25 dollars for the ballet and bus transport.

Richard Goldsmith will be the teacher in charge at school for those who do not come to the ballet.

Please complete the permission form ASAP if your child is to attend.

We will confirm numbers this Friday!

We will expect a high standard of dress for this event.
