As a full primary co-educational school proudly serving our Māori community with approximately 67 students enrolled, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where every child can thrive. Our inclusive atmosphere is shaped by the rich cultural heritage that permeates through Opotiki and reflects in over 99% of our student body being Māori.
Under the leadership of Principal Maria Howe, we embrace a state school ethos while maintaining unique values such as respect for self and others, strong family connections, cultural pride, environmental stewardship, and community involvement. These principles are not just words on paper; they're lived experiences here at Te Kura o Waioweka.
The enrolment process is straightforward yet personalized to ensure the well-being of our students as we maintain a close-knit school family atmosphere, reflective of Opotiki’s tight community spirit. With Maria Howe's guidance and visionary approach at the helm, Te Kura o Waioweka stands not just as an educational institution but also as a beacon for cultural preservation and pride in New Zealand.
