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 Putāruru 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.

Highlights - Term 3, Week 7, 2026
Gymnastics Survey
3 Sep 2026

We, Te Awamutu GymSports, are in the very early stages of investigating the possibility of re-establishing structured gymnastics sessions in TOKOROA, at the South Waikato Sports and Events Centre.

This location will be a satellite club, with all admin and governance managed by our main club in Te Awamutu.

We have already engaged with the Tokoroa Events Centre, Sport Waikato and Helen (formerly of South Waikato Gymsports) and the next step is to engage with the community, who will be utilising these sessions.

How you can help us?

We have put together a short survey (please click here) to allow us to gather some basic information around community need and interest in this type of activity. As an important part of being able to offer this programme, this survey will also include expressions of interest in coaching roles.

If you have any thoughts or feedback we would love to hear it!
