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

Today was very busy with Confidence Course Finals, House Captain Elections and the school Talent Quest. Some amazing abilities in so many areas. Find out the results of these events at our final assemblies on 16/17 December.
