Makikihi School

Makikihi School is a small rural Year 1 to 8 school north of Waimate and south of Timaru, and has a roll of 37 students who are taught in two multi-level classrooms. The school’s overarching vision is ‘Preparing children for success in life.’ The vision is supported by guiding principles which include concepts of ‘prioritising literacy and numeracy’, ‘inclusive environment’, ‘family feel’ and ‘opportunities for all students to respect and understand Te Reo Māori and Tikanga Māori’.

We are dedicated to providing children with the skills, value and attitudes they will need to participate in a challenging society as informed, confident and responsible citizens.
