Kia ora and welcome to Oteha Valley School, where our goal is to breathe life into learning for all children.

I am proud to be the Principal of Oteha Valley School, the third school I have been fortunate to lead. I have been Principal here since 2011 and have seen many changes to our school and community in that time.

Our school has grown and our community has changed. We value the diversity of all families in our community and want to ensure that children from all cultures and ethnicities feel welcomed and included.

I believe that school should be a fun, safe and welcoming place for children to learn. All our staff work very hard to ensure that our classrooms and school is inclusive and inviting.

We want all parents to actively participate in their child's learning journey at Oteha Valley School.

If you would like to know more about our school, and what is important to us, and what makes Oteha Valley School so special, please make a time to come and talk with me. I will show you around our beautiful school and answer any questions you have.

We understand you know your child best and we value that knowledge and the relationship you share. We look forward to sharing your child’s educational journey with you.
