Learning - Today, Tomorrow, Always

Hei akoranga - Inaianei Apopo, Mo ake tonu atu!

Lichfield School is situated within the beautiful rural village of Lichfield and surrounded by verdant farmland. It is approximately 8km south of Putaruru and 15km north of Tokoroa, on State Highway 1.

We are in a district known as the South Waikato, near the Central North Island of NZ. Residents enjoy the centrality of the position, being less than an hours drive from major shopping and tourist spots, such as Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, and Tauranga.

MORAL PURPOSE

To provide opportunities for all learners to identify and develop personal strengths and talents… so that they can be successful members of our society. 

Every minute of every day we are learning, no matter if we are one day old or 90 years old. 

Our vision points out that all members of our school learning community are life long learners.

Lichfield School has been serving the local community since 1884.
