New Logo

We have been working hard on a range of updates at Matua School. After working with staff, students and parents, we are over the moon with the updates so far. Our new logo includes both the Kotuku (our traditional bird) and the Tui (a legend that is unique to Matua Pa site and our peninsula). The textures behind the logo were created by our students.

New Matua Learner

Our new Matua Learner, builds on the idea of a model learner that demonstrates the competencies we believe to be important now and in the future. Takahia the talking Tui is our new Matua Leaner complete with a story book! Check it out and read it together on the Matua Learner page.

New Website

Our new website has been built to be easy to navigate and to easily share all information including our new look newsletter, the Heron Herald! Be sure to have a look around.

New Colours and Signage

We have new signs at our entrances. We also have our values signs set up around the school to promote our competencies. We are also painting the school to match our school colours (as well as for building maintenance).

SETTING UP KINDO

Setting up with Kindo

Kindo is our new prefered payment and permission system. To help you learn how it works, we’ve added their new help sheet and video. We hope it helps.
