Waiheke Primary School is a full primary school catering for students from Years 1– 8. It is situated in a picturesque valley surrounded by established trees in Sea View Road in the Ostend/Palm Beach area of Waiheke Island.

Our new school is unique and reflects the diversity and creativity that makes Waiheke Island so special. Our beautifully designed classrooms and grounds have been developed to uphold the values of environmental sustainability for which the Waiheke community is so passionate.

Our teaching team offers great depth of experience across all areas of the curriculum and places Inquiry Learning and all aspects of the Arts at the heart of our programme.

We will endeavour to educate each child to be:

• a person with compassion
• a person who is able to analyse information
• prepared for life and striving for excellence

With inspirational teachers our vision is to:

• assist the children to develop skills
• foster a desire for the children to become life long learners
• support children to grow as independent learners and impassioned thinkers
• enable children to experience a range of cultural activities and develop cultural awareness
• nurture children to grow as individuals, comfortable with their own identities

The relationship with parents and the whole community is a special part of our school. Our programmes are designed to be motivating, innovative and inspiring. Waiheke Primary School will always be a school of tomorrow.
