The school was soon properly established on its current site 2 kilometres past the township of Toko.

At the end of 2006 another Education Development Initiative occurred with the closure of Matau School and 2 additional children were enrolled.

The children are also members of one of four houses: Kauri, Rimu, Totara and kahikatea (These are all NZ native trees.)

As part of a long-standing tradition, Toko School students are encouraged to raise and care for either a calf or lamb during Spring.

Another significant traditional event that occurs at Toko School is the annual Jones Cup.

However, schools which amalgamated with Ngaere, including Bird Road and Pukengahu, were part of the "old" competition.

Late 2006 Toko Schools' IT infrastructure was upgraded, paid for primarily by the Ministry of Education.
