Learning for Life and Making it Count

Tō tātou kura - Our School, Ōuruhia Model School

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā hau e whā

 

Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.

 

Welcome, everybody, and let me introduce Ōuruhia Model 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 Ōuruhia Model School to be fun, memorable, and relevant. One of our mottos is "Learning for Life and Making it Count." We want students to love learning, be curious, and having lots of "Wow!" moments. Students 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 Ōuruhia Model School 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.

Pease email principal@ouruhia.school.nz for more information, or phone 03 323 8855.
