WAIANIWA SCHOOL

WELCOME TO WAIANIWA SCHOOL

We're a full primary school located in the heart of rural Southland, providing quality education for students from Year 1-8. With a strong history spanning over 150 years, we're proud to be a long-standing part of our community.

We hope your association with our school will be a positive one in all aspects. Enrolling in a rural primary school is the beginning of a special journey, where your child will not just be a student, but a valued member of our close-knit community.

At Waianiwa School, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing, supportive, and stimulating learning environment. Being a small school allows us to know every child individually, building relationships with them, and tailoring their learning experiences to help them thrive academically, socially, physically and emotionally.

We're dedicated to delivering our vision: helping our students become confident, actively involved learners with the necessary skills to succeed in a global environment.

Our school's motto, 'Our Best Always', is at the core of everything we do. It's our way of encouraging every child to strive to be the best they can be, both in their learning and as people.

Your child's success is our top priority, and we believe that a strong partnership with whānau and families, as well as our community, is key. We actively encourage you to get involved, work with us on your child’s learning journey, and celebrate their achievements along the way.

We provide a modern learning environment with up-to-date resources and a dedicated staff who embody the values of our school. We're here to teach, support, and nurture your child every step of the way.

We look forward to working alongside you during your child's time at our school.
