Dare to be remarkable

Our school first opened its doors in 1872, five years before primary school education became compulsory in New Zealand. It has remained at the forefront of best practices in educational research since its inception, and over the decades it has seen future prime ministers, leading business people, and national sports representatives spend their formative years in its care.

The school is one of the largest primary school in the province of Northland. We have a diverse population representing over 25 many different nationalities, reflecting the increasingly multi-cultural make up of our country.
