Welcome to our Lower Moutere School website.

A very warm welcome to our present and prospective parents and caregivers. At Lower Moutere School we have a wonderful learning environment providing a first class education for children from Years 1 - 8. Lower Moutere School draws its student population from the closely populated rural Moutere Valley and Mariri coastal region, the Lower Moutere settlement as well as from some families in the Motueka Township.

We welcome your interest and participation in your child's education and provide a variety of opportunities for you to be involved in our school life.
