PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME
RAHIRI TUMUAKI

At the Tauranga Waldorf School we cherish childhood and provide an environment and a programme which emphasises the development of imagination alongside physical skills, thinking capacities and social relationships.

Set on 16 acres, we offer a playground wonderland where childhood adventures abound for children from birth to Year 8 and a learning journey rich in the visual and performing and practical arts with our outdoor classroom and bush kindergarten a particular feature.

We go to considerable lengths to facilitate the students’ ability to be self-directed, reflective and self-aware learners and this is supported by the structure of our learning programmes, the school environment and our approach to growth and development . We partner parents in providing a Steiner/ Waldorf education where learning is natural and joyous.

So welcome to Tauranga Waldorf School where children learn through the examples of love, authority and respect.

The primary school children share the site with enough younger ones to fill three kindergartens, a nursery group, a parent and child group, as well as a range of animals whom they care for and nurture, including chickens, cows and kune kune pigs.
