Welcome to Matahui Road School, a small independent (private) primary school situated within a picturesque rural setting in Katikati in the Bay of Plenty. Matahui Road School provides an outstanding educational opportunity for children from New Entrants (Year 0) to Year 8.

The Matahui Road School mission statement: “to foster in all students high self-esteem, creativity and a love of learning” provides a foundation for the philosophies that underlie our teaching and learning.

How would your child’s self esteem, creativity and love of learning be fostered at Matahui Road School?

• Small class sizes (maximum average of 17 pupils per class) will allow your child to receive quality one to one interaction and instruction with their teacher.
• Your child will be actively engaged in their learning through many and varied hands-on learning experiences.
• An emphasis on literacy and numeracy will ensure your child is equipped with sound skills in preparation for college.
• A caring family environment and an integrated values programme encourages positive interaction between younger and older students.
• A focus on developing creativity and inquiring minds.
• A challenging outdoor education programme will develop confidence, self-esteem and leadership in your child.
• The integration of Multiple Intelligence and Habits of Mind philosophies will support your child’s social and academic development.
A Multiple Intelligences School
Instead of asking “Is this child smart?” as a Multiple Intelligences school, at Matahui Road School we ask “How is your child smart?” Your child possesses a unique blend of at least eight different ways of showing their intelligence including linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical, bodily/kinesthetic, visual/spatial, naturalist, interpersonal and intrapersonal. Classrooms based on the multiple intelligences result in improved academic outcomes and improved motivation. Your child will be more engaged in their learning and will be given the opportunity to use their individual strengths to develop areas of need.

Matahui Road School provides a special environment for developing confident and successful young people.
A bus service is available for Tauranga City and from Paeroa.
