We are rurally situated, proud of our past, with a clear vision for the future.

We value our long history and unique rural character. Oromahoe School was established more than 150 years ago to serve the local community and was staffed by teachers from the Mission, later becoming a Native and Māori School. It is now a full Primary School catering for up to 200 New Entrant to Intermediate aged students and attended by children from a very wide catchment area (both urban and rural). Parents make the choice to send their children to our school and are very supportive and enjoy being involved in their children's learning.

We are located off State Highway 10, halfway between Puketona and Pakaraka junctions. Kerikeri is the nearest town, 15 minutes away, and Paihia, Kawakawa and Kaikohe are approximately 20 minutes drive away. The School is set 1km back from the road and nestled amongst established native and oak trees on a large flat area.

Each week we focus on positive behaviours we expect to see around the school. These behaviours are closely aligned to our ‘TOP 5’ values. Students are given the opportunity to discuss and share ideas around feelings and outcomes of certain behaviours, both positive and challenging. We know what our 'TOP 5' values look, sound, and feel like in any situation.
