Ouruhia Model School

Whāia te mātauranga hei oranga mō koutou
Learning for Life and Making it Count

Welcome to 2021

Kia ora e te whānau,

Term 1 runs from Tuesday 9th February to Friday 16th April.

ANZAC Day will be in the first term break (25th-26th April).

Term 2 runs from Monday 3rd May until Friday 9th July. There is a Teacher Only Day on Friday 4th June - the Friday before Queen's Birthday (Mon 7th June).


School zone change
Late last year the Ministry of Education advised us of a slight change to our school zone. It now runs up Lower Styx Road all the way to Brooklands, including parts of Spencerville previously excluded. For details see here.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon,

Ngā mihi,
Mark

Tō tātou kura - Our School, Ouruhia

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā hau e whā.
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
 
Welcome, everybody, and let me introduce Ouruhia School.
We are your local school…a traditional family-friendly country school, modern and forward-thinking, with a rich and varied curriculum based in our community: Our People; Our Place; Our Future

We want Ouruhia to be fun, memorable, and relevant. One of our mottos is “Learning for Life and Making it Count.” We want kids to love learning, be curious, and having lots of "Wow!" moments. Kids with those attitudes and experiences will be motivated and engaged, and keen to make every step count on the road ahead… the road to a successful and positive future.

At Ouruhia our children grow to be strong in the personal qualities we emphasise: being Thinkers and Independent learners, who are Caring & Sharing and have a Can-Do Attitude.

​We welcome enquiries about enrolments for children from New Entrants to Year 8. We would love to meet you and show you around our school.
Please email Mark Ashmore-Smith at principal@ouruhia.school.nz for more information, or phone 03 323 8855.
