Te Anga

Te Anga is a rural community in the Waitomo District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.[1]

Marokopa River runs through the area. The river is not safe to swim in due to high rates of E. coli,[2] but farmers have put in plans to reduce water pollution.[3]

The area transitioned from sheep farming to more intensive dairy farming at the turn of the century.[3]

The local landscape consists of limestones, calcareous mudstones and sandstones, with small areas of basal conglomerates and coal measures.[4]

Education

Piri Piri School is a co-educational state primary school,[5] with a roll of 14 as of March 2020.[6][7]
