Our Community

Hauturu is a settlement at the south point of Kawhia Harbour and is physically located at 614 Harbour Rd. 

Hauturu School was established in 1918 and celebrated its 100th Birthday in 2018. 

Our community is surrounded by beef and sheep farmers, native bush reserves, Kawhia Moana and Awaroa River. Rakaunui Marae is our main connection to tangata whenua of the area. Other marae and old Pa sites within close proximity to our school are Te Whitiuira, Mokoroa, Tokopiko and Te Mahoe.

The whenua is made up of mainly hill country with rocky outcrops including tomo (underground caves).
