Primary School
Adventures in Learning from the Mountains to the Sea!
Our Vision
Creating connected, confident, adventurous learners – using Kaikōura as our classroom.
Nau Mai, Haere mai
We are a Year 0-6 Primary School of approximately 120 students. Our beautiful school sits between the mountains and the sea with stunning views, a short walk to the beach, and lots of space to learn and play.
The dolphins in our logo depict the strong relationship between our staff, students, and whānau, and our school highly values our relationship with Takahanga Marae and our wider community.
We are passionate about our local environment, history, and culture – Kaikōura is our classroom and we seize every opportunity to use the rich learning experiences at our doorstep to engage our students in adventures in learning.
