Matahui School, south of Katikati has secured funding to continue to operate so students, staff and whānau can now look forward to a brighter future.
In July the school announced it was struggling financially and would be forced to close unless assistance was found urgently.
Principal Mary Woods and the Board of Trustees confirmed on Tuesday that, thanks to a little bit of "Matahui magic", they now have a long-term solution to ensure the sustainability of the school.
"What happened is that we have an amazing and supportive wider community who believe in our ethos and what Matahui School provides for their children, and so they came to our rescue.
"We owe this group a huge debt of gratitude and want them to know that they will be part of the Matahui story for future generations to come," Woods says.
