Haere mai welcome to Waitaha School,
We are so very pleased that you have taken the time to 'virtually' visit our school. I am very proud to be Principal of Waitaha School and each day I am overwhelmed with the outstanding achievements of our young people. Waitaha School has a strong sense of community and is very well supported by our Board of Trustees.
At Waitaha School we encourage our young people to grow, thrive and succeed in learning and life.
Our goal is to provide a learning environment which is safe, caring and provides exciting future focussed learning. Please take time to explore our website and let our young people show you their stories.
