We have a proud history of achievement, sporting success and community involvement. We have a strong focus on Literacy and Mathematics, as well as providing many opportunities for our children to participate in sporting and cultural activities.
Norsewood and Districts is a rural, co-educational, full primary school with students drawn from the catchment area of Te Uri, Ormondville, Whetukura, Makotuku, Matamau and Norsewood districts. We are situated approximately 20 kilometres North of Dannevirke in a dairy, beef and sheep farming area.
Norsewood School was established in 1873 and became a merged school in 2004. The school has a proud Scandinavian heritage and participates in Norway Constitution Day celebrations each year.

Once again COVID has hit the school at an inopportune time. Due to staff sickness, our whanau meetings will need to be postponed until Term Three, Week 2. Please be aware that Totara will have to be split for at least two days this week as there are no available relivers. This does not affect our Matariki dinner on Wednesday and we look forward to seeing everyone there. Thank you for your understanding.
Please see information attached
Parents, please support our local businesses
