Welcome to Vardon School

Welcome to Vardon School: Established in 1956 along the banks of the scenic Waikato River, Vardon School is a vibrant community of nearly 400 learners. At the core of everything we do is our vision: We have a Sense of Belonging by valuing Respect, Kindness, and Learning! This spirit of belonging is anchored by our connection to Hotumauea, chief of Ngaati Wairere and Tainui, whose presence stands at the centre of our school and is reflected in our logo. Our 15 classrooms are led by exceptional teachers who bring our values to life, ensuring every child feels seen and supported. From our bike track and native gardens to Kapahaka and sports, we provide a rich environment where students don’t just learn, they belong.
