KIA ORA AND WELCOME

Matamata Primary School is located in the heart of the Waikato, a town overlooked by the Kaimai Ranges and surrounded by rivers that flow through rolling green hills. Here we have created a nurturing environment that enables our children to learn and prosper across all aspects of education and development. Our guiding principles centre on our motto ‘Endeavour, Achieve Excel | Tohenga, Taea, Tino Hira'. Together with support of our community and engagement of whanau, we deliver a platform that inspires learning to help build and shape our future generations.

9 Nov 2026

Firstly, a huge congratulations to all of our MPS students today that participated in the 5-6 year old Give It A Go and the 7-11 year old Athletics Prelims, you all did AMAZING!


We were very lucky with the weather and were pushing all day to try and get the day done before the rain set in, we managed, just!


Congratulations to the students featured in the photos attached that have qualified to race on Wednesday morning (weather permitting) in our Track Finals as well as our Bowler Cup. Also attached is the programme for the morning, please note however that races can run slightly early or late depending on the day.


If your child has qualified then they need to come to school on Wednesday morning prepared to run with all the essential items, just like today.


Once the Track Finals are complete, I will announce the students that have qualified for Interschool Athletics in both our track and field events for our 7-11 year olds. This is the top three in each age group for each event, boys and girls.


Thanks for all the parents and family that came out today to support!


If the weather isn't so kind to us on Wednesday, communication will come out closer to the time.


Thanks,
Mrs Bateman
