Welcome to Strath Taieri School

Kia ora koutou

 

Strath Taieri School is a full primary school, with children from new entrants up to year 8. 

We are proudly rural. Our students love the outdoors and make the most of our large school grounds. We allow the children to take risk in their play such as by climbing trees and riding bikes on our new bike track.

Our core curriculum, mathematics and literacy focuses on a clear progression of skills with valuable learning not left to chance.

Other topics such as science, social studies and the arts are taught through an inquiry approach which allows us to create exciting and rich learning experiences for our students. 

 

Being a student at Strath Taieri School means you are supported by our entire community from the PTA and Board of Trustees to local businesses including farms, the Middlemarch Museum and community groups such as the Cavalcade and Lions Club. All this incredible support means that we punch above our weight in terms of resources and support for learning.

 

We are guided by the values of our school visible on our school pou at our gate. 

Our mission statement is that our children will be… equipped with the skills and knowledge to confidently navigate life’s challenges.

They are able to do this by developing these school values…

​

Showing respect

Developing resilience 

Taking responsibility 

Nurturing empathy 

and Striving for excellence.
