Otonga School Te Kura o Tihiōtonga

Nau mai haere mai Welcome to Otonga School

Otonga School Te Kura o Tihiōtonga is a fun learning community with motivated and respectful students. At Otonga School the child is at the centre of the learning. This is because we know that everyone comes here with their own passions, wonderings, questions, strengths and needs. Learning Through Play Pedagogy permeates across the school and acknowledges this. We pride ourselves in showing the school values of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, manawanui and whanaungatanga. We are a member of the Rotorua Central Kahui Ako Community of Learning. Our people like to have fun while learning and this is what makes Otonga School a great place to be.
