Welcome to Hinuera School!

Since 1892 Hinuera School has been the heart of our rural community, nurturing generations of “Hinni Kids” and building a proud reputation for rich, future-focused learning.

 

Our Vision


“Te tipu me tō akona – Learning and Growing.”
Everything we do is driven by the belief that every child can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally when learning is purposeful, inclusive, and inspiring.

 

 

Our Vision

Our Values – The 3 Rs

Whakaute/Respect • Aumangea/Resilience • Haepapa/Responsibility

These guiding principles shape daily life at Hinuera and prepare our learners to “be the best they can be” long after they leave our gates.

Why families choose Hinuera:

  • Personalised teaching: Small class sizes (Years 0-6) mean every learner’s progress is known and celebrated.
  • Expert staff: Highly capable teachers deliver structured, aspirational programmes aligned with Te Mātaiaho, focusing on each child’s next steps.
  • Expansive grounds & modern facilities: Two playgrounds, swimming pool, turfed court, refurbished classrooms, and spacious green fields invite active play and exploration.
  • Vibrant culture: Strong relationships, an energetic PTA, and wide-ranging extracurricular opportunities enrich school life.
  • Easy access: Located at 636 Hinuera Road (SH 29), 10 minutes from Matamata, with government-funded buses and convenient parent drop-off.

Come and see the difference:
We’re proud of our heritage and excited about the future we’re crafting for today’s Hinni Kids. Book a visit, meet our team, and discover how your child can thrive—learning and growing—at Hinuera School.
