Welcome to the Tirimoana Primary School website home page.
This year is an Election Year for School boards of Trustees.
All of New Zealand's state and state-integrated schools have a board of trustees. The board of trustees is the Crown entity responsible for the governance and the control of the management of the school. The board is the employer of all staff in the school, is responsible for setting the school's strategic direction in consultation with parents, staff and students, and ensuring that its school provides a safe environment and quality education for all its students. Boards are also responsible for overseeing the management of personnel, curriculum, property, finance and administration.
If you wish to nominate yourself or someone else for this very important and valued responsibility please contact Jenny in our office 8389737 or Peter Kaiser, our School Principal.
Thanks for taking the time to visit our website. We hope you will find lots of useful information about our school and community.
Our school was opened in 1969 and provides education for children from 5 years old up to Year 6 level.
In our school we regard everyone as an individual, where each child is unique. We aim to understand each child’s difference by helping every child to develop their personal strengths and talents. Our school motto “Discover Your Talents” reflects this.
Our school focuses on positive behaviour and expectations for high achievement. We have a zero tolerance for bullying, swearing and littering. We expect all our children to demonstrate good manners and to speak clearly with confidence.
In the playground we practise peer mediation and peaceful conflict resolution. We expect all children to accept consequences for breaking school rules and for unacceptable behaviour.
Our school is an Enviroschool. We are a member of the Enviroschools Network. We aim to teach all our children about environmentally sustainable practices, and how to care for our planet by starting at home and at school.
We are also a Schoolgen school. With sponsorship from Genesis Energy through their Schoolgen Programme, we are able to teach children about energy conservation and sustainability. Genesis Energy donated to the school photovoltaic solar panels which enables us to produce some of our own electricity.
The school accepts five year old new entrants to start school on the day of their fifth birthday or any school day thereafter. We recommend children experience three morning visits to school before actually enrolling. Parents are encouraged to accompany their child on these visits.
The school introduced an enrolment scheme and zone in June 2000 to manage the growth in student numbers. This means that children of families resident in the school zone have first priority for enrolment. Families resident outside the school zone are required to apply for a place and may have their names entered in to a ballot.
