TE AROHA
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Educating children for their futures, today
Welcome to Te Aroha Primary School where children from Year 1 to 8 are challenged to be the best that they can be in an inclusive learning environment.
Situated in the heart of Te Aroha and nestled under the mountain on a 4.6 hectare campus, our children have a sense of belonging, pride and are valued in their cultural heritage.
We always encourage our children “To Accept The Challenge” which is our school motto. This is the challenge to learn, to explore, to have a go at new opportunities and to have fun.
We invite you to join us on this journey.

Netball Reminders 🙂
Thu May 20 09:31pmView PDFNetball:
Just a reminder to all those who signed up to play.
1) The fees deadline has well passed so if you haven’t paid then you probably haven’t been registered therefore you are not eligible to play.
2) From Yr 5-8 you have committed to a team, therefore you are expected to be there every weekend or you let your team down. 8 weekends is all it is and you are expected to put your team first. If you are injured you are still expected to be at the courts to support your team.
3) Doing a duty is a non negotiable requirement for ALL THOSE PLAYING. If you are unable to do yours then you must find someone to stand in for you. Anyone over the age of 14 is acceptable. You will probably only get 2 duties maximum all season.
Thank you to those who helped out last weekend- you are off the hook!!!! Thanks to Cam Melrose for organising this for us as it takes a lot of time.
Thank you,
Mrs Paul
