Tauwhare primary is a rural state primary school nestled at the foot of the beautiful Scotsman Valley, just 10 – 15 minutes drive from Hamilton, Cambridge or Morrinsville. Although traditionally a farming area, a large number of newly developed rural subdivisions has changed the area and the mix of children at the school.

The mission of Tauwhare School is to provide a balanced yet challenging education for all students to develop their potential, while providing extra assistance to those who require extension or additional support, by having our own Reading Recovery Teacher, Literacy Extension Teacher and I.C.T. Specialist. We provide opportunities for after-school classes in The Arts and P.E. to extend and enrich our curriculum.

A pleasant student environment is engendered by having a policy of zero tolerance to bullying and swearing, and providing exciting school playgrounds to keep children active during school breaks. Great kiwi Rural School traditions such as Calf Club are held every year, giving the students first hand experience with the care of animals, plants and nature.
