ABOUT US

Nestled in a pretty valley close to Mercer village, approx 3 kilometres from SH1, Te Paina Primary School is situated in a picturesque rural setting.
Within this calming and inspiring location, our learning programs and sincere, caring teachers nurture our students and encourage them to experience learning success. Our highest measure of success is that the majority of our students love coming to school.

Welcome to Te Paina School

Kia Ora, Talofa Lava, Kia Orana, Malo e lelei and warm greetings to you all.

My name is Adam Tamariki and I am very proud to be serving as the Principal of Te Paina School. We are an amazing Year 1-8 rural school situated in the heart of the Mercer community. We have a fantastic team who are passionate about our tamariki and making learning fun and engaging. Our akonga are actively engaged in their learning journey. We encourage our students to explore, discover and lead their learning through hands on experiences and a range of learning opportunities. Please come and visit us at Te Paina.
