Welcome to
Te Kura O Waimata
Te Kura o Waimata is a Level 3 Māori Immersion kura located just south of Waihi, grounded in whānau values, rich history, and a strong connection to the land and water. Since 1916, we’ve grown from a small rural school to a vibrant learning community focused on nurturing confident, connected learners.
Our tamariki thrive through play, authentic experiences, and outdoor learning enriched by tuakana–teina relationships. With spaces like a student-designed playground, BMX track, woodland area, and more, our kura offers endless opportunities for exploration and growth.
Our curriculum is guided by Māori values, key competencies, and symbols of the natural world, reflecting every stage of our learners’ journey, from strong foundations to soaring potential.
