Many of our staff have made the move to the Coromandel specifically because they see it as a great place to raise their families and school age children are well catered for. There are a number of primary and secondary schools, including Catholic schools, throughout the district.
Sport is also part and parcel of life on the Peninsula. Rugby, netball, hockey, cricket, squash, tennis, golf, lawn bowls, and many more traditional sports are catered for. There is also a strong focus on water sports like yachting, kayaking, fishing, and surfing.
We have a very active social club who organise events throughout the year. Some examples of this are:
- A mid-winter social
- Xmas social for staff and partners
- Easter Egg hunt for children
- Children's Xmas party at the Pool
- Mussel barge fishing trips
- Business House squash, and tennis competitions
- Business House Bowls competitions
- Inter-council sporting competitions
We challenge you to find a more beautiful and diverse landscape than here on the Coromandel Peninsula.
Our District truly has something for everyone.
The contrasting landscape is matched only by the diversity of our communities. From the potters and artists of Coromandel Town, to the urban holiday makers of Pauanui. Thames, with it's rich mining history and heritage sites, sits comfortably next to rural farming communities.
And if you miss the bright lights and big city, we are just over an hour away from the three major cities of Auckland, Hamilton, and Tauranga.
