Tirau Primary School
Principal's Welcome
Welcome to the very special place that we call home and some of you out there may call "corrugated town".We are a unique little school in a unique location surrounded by an ever thriving township.
Our school offers a rich blend of country lifestyle with a modern rich learning environment that maintains that rural and family atmosphere where we value the opportunity to Grow Successful Learners Together . Take the time to check out our website to see what we have to offer and to take a closer look at what we are up to as a school.
We would love to hear from you if you have any questions or queries and if you would like a guided tour of our fantastic school, feel free to pop in and say hello.
Kind Regards,
Siobhan Patterson
Principal
