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. We would very much love to have you be a part of our learning community here at Te Paina School.

Kia Ora Te Paina Whannau
Welcome back to Term 3! It was great to see all our students return well-rested and ready to go.
I would like to give a warm welcome to Whaea Ritea (working in Harakeke) and Whaea Michelle (working in Tuatoru) to Te Paina School! Please be sure to say hello and make them feel welcome if you see them around.
Just a reminder that our school cross country is this Friday at 1:00 pm. We ask that students bring a change of clothes in their house colours to change into at lunchtime for the event. We invite all our whaanau to come along and cheer on the runners if you are able!
If weather forces us to postpone, a Skool Loop notice will be sent out on Friday morning.
Ngaa mihi,
Team Te Paina
Parents, please support our local businesses
