Our school is situated in the rural area between Atiamuri and Marotiri.
Tirohanga is transforming, and with that we have our new school logo that embraces who we are following iwi and whanau consultation. The final logo reflects our Maunga, Pohaturoa, the Waikato River, the ferns and fronds that represent our nature based learning, and the land that is Tirohanga (The View).
