NAU MAI HAERE MAI, WELCOME TO OMAKAU SCHOOL

Welcome to Omakau School.


Omakau School is a rural school in the heart of Central Otago.

Students enjoy their learning in a caring, respectful environment. They benefit from trusting relationships with their teacher and each other.

Our aim is to ensure we provide the very best educational and developmental experiences we can for all our pupils.

We offer a range of stimulating learning opportunities within a well resourced, modern environment as well as opportunities to explore our unique local environment outside the classroom.

We value the small class sizes we offer, the range of activities and resources available and the high quality teachers we have.
