Tēnā koutou katoa,
Welcome to the Matamata College whānau. We are delighted that you have chosen to enrol your child with us.
At Matamata College, we are proud of our strong values which guide everything we do - Te Kawenga (Responsibility), Te Whakaute (Respect), Ngākau Tapatahi (Integrity), and Manaakitanga (Caring).
Our school offers a wide range of opportunities for every student to thrive, whether in the classroom through academic excellence, on the sports field, in cultural groups and performing arts, or by stepping into leadership roles that grow confidence and capability.
We look forward to working in partnership with you to support your child’s journey, and to help them make the most of every opportunity that comes their way.
