OUR SCHOOL

Welcome to Te Mahia School

Te Mahia School is a proud rural kura nestled in the heart of Māhia Peninsula, on the beautiful East Coast of Aotearoa New Zealand. Established in 1896, our school has a long and rich history of serving the whānau and tamariki of our community.

We are a full primary school catering for Years 1–8, offering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is known, valued, and supported to reach their full potential. At Te Mahia School, we embrace the unique cultural identity of our learners, with a strong Māori lens across our curriculum, and a commitment to manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and ako.

Our students thrive in small class sizes, with personalised learning, rich local curriculum experiences, and access to a wide range of opportunities—from digital technologies and environmental learning, to sports, kapa haka, and education outside the classroom.

We are proud of our beautiful surroundings, strong community spirit, and the sense of belonging that makes Te Mahia School so special.
