Policies & Procedures
| 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

On this night, we will together unpack Positive Behaviour for Learning and look at other issues related to behaviour management in our school. Please join us this evening to learn how we solve issues and problems here at Tauhoa.
Junior Tabloid Sports - Friday 22nd May
All year 1-3 students will attend the Cluster Schools Junior Tabloid Sports Day at Tomarata School on Friday, May 22nd May. This event is run by the senior students and staff of Tomarata School, so no parental help is required. Although you are more than welcome to come along and support.
Students will be issued a school sports shirt. Please try to dress them in dark shorts/pants. (We also suggest bringing a change of clothes), including shoes, a jacket, a packed lunch, and a drink bottle. Students may bring some coins in a named plastic bag, as some food and drink items will also be on sale.
Our Rodney Rural sports form, signed at the beginning of this year, covered permission to travel by bus to this event. I will chase up any that I have not received yet today.
We will be travelling by bus to Tomarata School, leaving at 9 a.m. and returning in time for our usual 2.30 pick-up or bus.
