About Te Wharekura o Nga Purapura o Te Aroha
Welcome to Te Wharekura o Nga Purapura o Te Aroha, a vibrant State composite co-educational secondary school nestled in the heart of Waikato's picturesque township of Te Awamutu. With Principal Jade Tapine at its helm, this institution is not just an educational establishment but also a beacon for cultural pride and community spirit.
At approximately 94 students strong, our roll size reflects the close-knit nature of Te Awamutu's student body. As one might observe in many communities herein, we are proud to have an overwhelming majority—83% Māori—representing a rich tapestry that is central to New Zealand’s identity and our school ethos.
