About Us

Small school, strong spirit, endless possibilities. 

Nestled in the heart of New Zealand’s breathtaking countryside, Ōhura School is a place where tamariki are known, valued, and inspired to be their best. Our small-town spirit is big on warmth, connection, and the kind of learning that lights up young minds.

Catering to Years 0 to 8, we’re all about turning education into an exciting journey full of creativity, discovery, and plenty of fun.

Led by Principal Cindy, our smaller class sizes mean your child receives the focused attention and encouragement they need to thrive — with teachers who truly care and know each learner’s unique strengths.

What makes Ōhura really stand out is our passionate parent community. Here, parents don’t just drop off — they’re active partners, helping to build a lively, supportive school whānau. From school events to hands-on activities, our parent whānau is at the heart of everything we do.

Our students also enjoy a fantastic range of facilities — a swimming pool, tennis court, sports turf, and a cozy, well-stocked library where imaginations run wild.

At Ōhura School, learning is more than lessons — it’s about belonging, growing, and making every day count. We’d love for your family to join us on this exciting journey!
