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.

We have started delivering stationery packs to the classrooms today.
Invoices have been emailed out and paper copies should come home today with your children. Please pay as soon as possible so that your child can get their stationery.
We have tried to keep stationery costs down as much as possible this year. If you have more than one child at school, you may wish to start up a direct debit and pay them off.
The school bank account number is on the invoice.
Welcome back to school for 2025.
Term 1 commences next Monday 3rd February ready to start learning at 8.50am.
Please remind children to bring their togs and sunhats and to apply sunscreen daily before school
Book pack prices and stationery lists will be sent home on Monday.
Our Facebook page is still not up and running. Hopefully this should be reinstated in the next few weeks.
