Principal's Welcome

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

Bucket Raffle for Ag day
24 Sep 2026

As you may have noticed, your child came home yesterday with an empty bucket.

 

Each Tauhoa School Family, Staff Member, and supporter has been given a bucket to fill as a donation for this fantastic fundraiser, along with 5 tickets to sell.

IPP Plastics donated our buckets this year. Watch out for them in stores!

One Item is not considered a filled bucket unless it is a large item, E.G., A TV or a side of Pork, Beef, etc.


Buckets are part of the prize. If the items are too large or perishable, please place a voucher inside the bucket that lists the contents.


 Buckets must have a minimum value of $15. The better the buckets, the more tickets we sell, especially on the day.


Think about what YOU would want to win!


Plus, a prize for the best bucket brought back to school by October 20th.

 

Ticket Sales

Each family will be asked to sell 5 tickets @ $5.00 each. 
All tickets will be entered into the first draw - winning tickets will not be returned for subsequent draws. (5 tickets purchased equals five chances to win.)
We don't expect any unsold tickets; however, if some remain, please return to school on Tuesday, 20th October.
Please let us know if you require more tickets, as we can send more home with your child.
Tickets will still be on sale for $5.00 on the day.
Please return the named ticket stubs and money by Tuesday, 20th October – thank you.
If you have people who would like to purchase a bucket raffle ticket and can't be here on the day, please make sure you're here to collect the bucket for them. Note that those not here on the day and drawn will not be able to have fresh fish/meat buckets chosen for them.
If you don’t fill your bucket, please return it so someone else can fill it.
