About Us

We are a Decile 6, Year 1-8 full primary school situated 20km south of Palmerston North on State Highway 57 with five classrooms. The school roll is made up of; 51% European, 44% Māori, and 5% other ethnicities.  We have seen significant growth in the past few years, and as a result an Enrolment Scheme was implemented in 2018. While Tokomaru School is at the northern end of the Horowhenua District, the majority of our families’ travel to Palmerston North for work and/or services.

The school community is a mix of rural and village families. As a rural school, considerable reliance is placed on parent and community involvement.  Tokomaru School does not ask for a school donation from our families. Instead we ask for support from parents in non-monetary, ways.  We appreciate the ongoing support we get from members of our community, who help enhance the educational opportunities of our students. We have strong links with all local community groups and local businesses, who so willingly support our school.
