Pahoia
Pahoia is a waterfront settlement in the Western Bay of Plenty District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.
It includes a stretch of State Highway 2 that is a common crash site, due to windy roads, high speeds and heavy traffic.[1] The New Zealand Transport Agency has reduced speeds along the road following a series of crashes, including introducing a school speed zone outside Pahoia School.[2]
Pahoia Domain, a beach and park, is the base for an mud challenge fundraiser for Tauranga Boys' College rugby teams.[3] The course includes 6km of mudflats along the Pahoia waterfront.[4]
Education
Pahoia School is a co-educational state primary school for Year 1 to 6 students,[5][6] with a roll of 178 as of February 2024.[7]
The school holds an annual triathlon.[8]
