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.

COMMUNITY OP SHOP - HELPERS AND DONATIONS WANTED

It's that time again - community op shop week! We are looking for volunteers to help in our op shop week from Saturday 10 October to Friday 16 October. You may be sorting donations, helping customers, putting out new stock or perhaps even taking home a bargain or two for yourself! If you can even help for an hour or two - please text Rachel on 021 839 966.

We also need good quality donations for us to sell. Please drop off donations between 9am and 2pm Saturday 10 October and Monday 12 October to Friday 16 October between 9am and 3pm. Please do not drop off donations outside of these hours and days as otherwise they will go to another group or are sometimes stolen or trashed.
