About Us

Arohena School is a rural kura nestled in an attractive native bush setting with views of Maungatautari and is the hub of the Arohena District enjoying strong community support. We are minutes from the Waikato River, the popular Waikato River Trail and Lake Arapuni camping ground. We are thirty minutes from Te Awamutu, 25 minutes from Putāruru and Mangakino.

Arohena School caters for ākonga (learners) from New Entrants to Year Eight in mixed year groups utilising large teaching spaces. Our present school roll fluctuates between 20 and 40 children.

The kura (school) facilities consist of three classrooms, a large multi-purpose room, library, tennis/netball courts, an adventure playground, rugby/soccer field, native bush, vegetable gardens and a community built swimming pool. 

Arohena School is very well-resourced and we have an active Board and the wider community are consulted annually over the direction the school is taking.
