Strath Taieri Context: Strath Taieri Community The Strath Taieri Valley is mainly given over to farming, especially sheep, deer, caVle and some grain. The Middlemarch Township has a popula=on of about 200 and is serviced by a general store, postal agency, hotel, Cycle Surgery, Trail Journey, cafés and some farm related agencies. The area is undergoing a number of changes in regard to farming, tourism and holiday housing, increasing the demand for housing, and reducing the availability of housing stock. This has had an effect on the nature of the community and number of children in the district. The community has a covered swimming pool and community hall that are well used by the school. There is a strong interest in spor=ng and leisure ac=vi=es. Due to our rela=ve size of the community limited spor=ng and leisure ac=vi=es can be accessed within the community, parents travel to access compe==on or a range of ac=vi=es within wider Dunedin. Our School Strath Taieri is a full primary school (Y0-8) employing four teachers including a teaching principal. Ancillary staff include school secretary and support staff. We are a decile 5 school with stable roll. Strath Taieri School is situated on Highway 87 in Middlemarch and is rela=vely isolated being 65 km from Mosgiel and 84 km from Dunedin. The school was first opened in 1880 and has always been a focal point in the community. In 1969 it became a full primary and since then the area’s secondary students have either travelled to the Taieri High School in Mosgiel or have aVended boarding school. Most boarders aVend schools in Oamaru or Dunedin.
The school enjoys extensive grounds and the development of these is on going for the Board of Trustees and the
community. All classrooms on the school site are older but well maintained. The Middlemarch Play Group occupies
a classroom in the school and has an established fenced playground on site. The Play Group is an extended part of
our school community.
