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.

Team Te Mata
Hello everyone!
Well the end of term is upon us and the kids are ready to party. So we have decided a pajama day will be had, next Thursday, for our class. Wear your P.J's and bring your favourite teddy and enjoy some fun and games in class while in ya jammies!
Friday is whole school wheels day. This is a day where wheels are welcome! Bring your bike, scooter, skate board or skates and HELMET, and wheel around all day. If your child takes a school bus you might need to drop them off with their bike that day.
Please message me if you have any questions.
See you all soon, Jacqui
