About Matamata Christian School
Welcome to Matamata Christian School, a vibrant and inclusive educational community nestled in the heart of Matamata on Waikato's picturesque Central Plains.
At our co-educational full primary school with an approximate roll size of 136 students, we pride ourselves on fostering a nurturing environment where every child is valued and respected. Our dedicated team led by Principal Alistair Paterson ensures that learning experiences are engaging and tailored to meet the individual needs of our diverse student body.
Situated in Matamata, one of New Zealand's most charming towns known for its rich history as a gold rush era settlement, students at Matamata Christian School enjoy unique cultural experiences that enrich their education. The surrounding region offers ample opportunities to explore nature and learn about the local Maori heritage.
As an integral part of our community's fabric, we uphold core values such as integrity, compassion, inclusiveness, respect for others, responsibility, honesty, perseverance, teamwork, excellence in learning and faith. These principles guide us towards creating a positive impact on each student’s personal growth while providing them with the tools to succeed academically.
