OUR SCHOOL

At Waianiwa School, we believe in making learning exciting and engaging for every student. We offer a rich curriculum that helps students explore the world around them, from the beautiful landscapes of Aotearoa to the mysteries of outer space. Our teachers create a supportive and fun environment where children can be curious, ask questions, and discover new passions. 

We follow the New Zealand Curriculum, ensuring our students receive a well-rounded education across all seven essential learning areas. Our programme is designed to make learning an exciting journey, from the foundations of English and Mathematics to the expressive worlds of The Arts. Students also explore the natural and physical world through Science, discover their place in communities with Social Sciences, and develop healthy habits in Health and Physical Education. We equip students with skills for the future through Technology and Digital Technology and foster an understanding of different cultures through our supportive and respectful school culture. 

Our teachers create a supportive and fun environment where students can ask questions, collaborate with others, and grow into confident, happy, and well-rounded learners, celebrating every student's unique strengths.
