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 100 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.

Our Values

Whanaungatanga like the mighty mountains it is the strength that comes from connectedness – to each other, our community and our environment

Aroha

Aroha is the way we value and celebrate our diversity – this is our turangawaewae, everyone belongs

Manaakitanga

Manaakitanga is the warm caring place we create so that we are safe to take risks, free to make marvelous mistakes and grow through challenges

Ako

Ako like the river that runs from the mountains to the sea, it is the continuous adventure of learning together
