Ohuka School stands proudly in Wairoa, Hawke's Bay, offering an inclusive education experience for children from years one to six at a co-educational full primary setting. With the school nestled on Okare Road and under state authority, it fosters learning within its community of approximately 11 students—the ideal environment where personalized attention is paramount in nurturing young minds.
At Ohuka School's heart lies a commitment to cultural diversity with half of our student body identifying as Māori and the other half representing European/Pākehā heritage, reflecting an embracement of New Zealand’s rich ethnic tapestry right here in Wairoa. This blend is not just numbers on a page but represents Ohuka's dedication to providing education that respects all cultures and encourages students from various backgrounds to share their unique perspectives, enriching the learning experience for everyone involved.
Under the leadership of Principal Annabel Wallace—an individual who embodies our school’s ethos with her passionate approach towards educating children in a supportive environment —we ensure that every student feels valued and heard during their educational journey at Ohuka School. Here, education is not just about academic achievement but also the development of character and respect for one's community and country.
