School Gala
The Carterton School Gala is one of our favourite annual events. This fun evening is organised by the PTA and supported by students, staff, whanau and our wider community.
Wairarapa Balloon Festival

Thanks Wairarapa Balloon Festival crew!
Confidence Course
End of Year activities include Confidence Course Finals, House Captain Elections and the school Talent Quest.
