Welcome to Waerenga School

Waerenga School is a rural school approximately 14km east of Te Kauwhata.

In 2024 we were successful in transitioning to a full primary school. This means we currently cater for students from year 0-6. In 2025 we will cater for years 0-7 and in 2026 years 0-8. Please refer to our FAQ sheet on this website if you have further questions (this can be found under the Enrolment tab).

Our school motto is "Make Yourself Proud", and this filters throughout all staff and tamariki.

We have a dedicated and stable staff who work above and beyond for all their students making this school a successful place for everyone to reach their own potential.

Our School focus is to foster the characteristics of being resilient, reliable, and resourceful in all that we do.

In my spare time I love to visit my whanau, work in the garden and keep fit.

If you would like to learn more about our amazing rural school and what we offer, please email a time to come and experience ourselves in action.

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi.

He toa takitini

My strength is not that as an individual but as a collective.
