About Tahakopa School
Welcome to Tahakopa School, an integral thread in the fabric of Otago/Southland where education is deeply intertwined with Māori culture and values. Nestled on a scenic route at 921 Tahakopa Valley Road within the picturesque township of Owaka, this full primary school stands as an emblematic institution for its commitment to nurturing young minds in harmony with their heritage.
At Tahakopa School, we pride ourselves on being a co-educational environment where every student is encouraged and supported. With our current enrolment of just 2 students, the school offers an intimate setting that fosters strong relationships among peers while ensenerving individual attention from dedicated educators like Principal Cherie Zoutenbier-Bisset.
Our student community is entirely Māori—a testament to our dedication in providing education rooted deeply within the cultural identity of New Zealand's indigenous people. As a school that respects and celebrates its unique demographic makeup, we ensure that every aspect from curriculum design to daily activities reflects Māori traditions and perspects.
