OUR COMMUNITY
Kumeroa School Education Trust
The Kumeroa School Education Trust was established in 1992 to manage funds that have been donated by the local community. The Trust owns and runs the school swimming pool giving access to this resource to the whole community. The Trust also buys a book for every student, each year which is given to them at Prize Giving.
