Kia Ora, Talofa Lava, Malo e lelei, Kia Orana, Greetings,
Te Mata School is a full primary school situated in a stunning rural location at the heart of the Te Mata community. Our personalised learning programs and teaching strategies are especially tailored to cater for the academic, social and physical development needs of each unique student at our school.
We have a whanau style approach where our whole learning community supports the academic, physical and emotional development of everyone at Te Mata School. The vibrant and committed teachers provide a range of programs and activities to support this approach.
We have our “Fish Philosophy” that underpins the values of Te Mata School and weaves it way through all aspects of our children’s day.
Like parents, the staff and Board of Trustees at Te Mata School want the best for all our students. This is achieved in an atmosphere of friendly co-operation which involves the school, the students and their families.
If you would like more information about Te Mata School or to arrange a visit, please feel free to contact the office to make an appointment, it would be our pleasure to show you around.

Kia ora team!
It’s Ag Day tomorrow, which is exciting. It is looking a little wet but that won't slow us down!
Judging begins at 10am, so it is best for all children with animals to be at school by 9am, to settle them and get them brushed and clean.
Children - please go to the red tent when you arrive at school to get your red number tag.
We will have the gate open on the field for you to drive in. Please park on the outer edges of the field; but not as far down as the animal rings.
We have carefully managed our staffing for the day, so our Ag Day students need to remain down on the field with their animals and parents, and can leave for the day once the event is finished.
See you all tomorrow,
Trina
Kia ora whaanau,
Our incredible Toni is working hard to finalise the programme for Ag Day. We are wanting to get it off to the printer tomorrow, so if you have had any changes to your animal entries, please let Toni know asap using the email linked to this notice.
We are looking forward to our day!

With Term 4 beginning tomorrow, it’s time to get our tamariki ready for the warmer months and pop that sunhat into their school bag.
A reminder that all tamariki are required to wear a sunhat when outside during Term 4. Please ensure your child brings their sunhat to school each day and has their sunblock already applied.
We are looking forward to seeing all of our tamariki at school tomorrow.
