Welcome to Koromatua School
From the Principal
I warmly welcome you to our school website. I hope you find it useful and informative.
Children increase their chances of learning well when there is good communication between school and home, and when both home and school are on the same educational page. Caregivers and school staff share the same goal, the positive growth and development of our children- academically, physically, socially and emotionally. As is often said, 'It takes a village to raise a child'.
Thank you parents and whanau for the support you give to the school through sending us your precious tamariki, attending school events and parent-teacher meetings, and for supporting the PTA Group and kaiako with running events, providing transport, supporting homework and doing a host of other things that you are involved with.
Our school motto is: "Te Pono me Te Aroha. Truth and Love". This motto expresses the spirit by which all kaimahi at Koromatua School endeavour to support the growth and development of your children. It is our privilege as kaimahi of our kura to be involved in the education of your tamariki.
Ko te mea nui- Ko te aroha.
Rosina Nin
Principal
