Matau School

Matau School is a very small sole-charge school located in the eastern district hill country of Taranaki, New Zealand.
The area is mainly sheep,cattle and deer farming with the gradual conversion of many areas into pine forests.
I have been teaching here for seven years and enjoy the experience of being the sole teacher. The administration can be a bit of a drag but the teaching is always fun. We have started a web log because I think it suits our needs better than a conventional web site. We intend to post our school newsletters and some of the childrens work and this seems to be the best way to do this.
Hopefully ths page will have a lot more of the kids' thoughts than mine.
