Waitotara School is a small state primary school situated in the rural village of Waità Âtara, located between Whanganui and HÃÂwera, New Zealand, on State Highway 3.
The school sits on the banks of the Waità Âtara River, 47 km south of Ngamatapouri, and was fully refurbished after devastating floods in 2004. These floods destroyed much of the interior of the school buildings as well as furniture and equipment, while many homes in the small community of Waità Âtara were also badly damaged.
