2022!

We are eagerly preparing for our special tamariki to return on the 2nd of February. Doors open at 8am where the teachers will be ready to welcome you with a big smile. We can't wait to hear what you've been up to. We missed you!

Stationary lists and how to purchase were sent out via email recently, as well as with the term 4 reports.

If you are interested in joining our awesome country school, just 10 minutes from Levin or Foxton, make contact with us to go into our ballot for available places.

If you live in zone (Waiterere) get in touch so we can get the paperwork sorted, to avoid any delays in starting with the rest of our lovely children.

The principal, Nikki Harland loves showing around new families.

We are super excited to see everyone again! Enjoy this fabulous weather, ka kite ano

Poroutawhao Strategic plan 2019-2021 - 2

Welcome to our school

Welcome to Poroutawhao School. We are a small country school (Years 1-8) with a lot of heart, strong community support, and a focus on modern learning.

When you arrive here at Poroutawhao, you will see a wide-open and green space for the children to play and learn set amongst the backdrop of the Tararua Mountains. We are committed to giving all students the best education possible. More about our approach to learning here.

Established in 1924, Poroutawhao school has been part of the community for nearly 100 years. We have strong community links with the Waitārere Beach community, local iwi Ngāti Huia ki Poroutawhao and the surrounding farming district.

We offer a safe, stress-free environment featuring effective school-wide pastoral care. Our range of outside the classroom activities includes day trips and school camps. Our school sports teams participate in local school sports competitions. We also provide safe and reliable school transport services from Waitārere, Moutua and Levin.
