'Our Place - To Belong, To Learn, To Achieve'

Tōu Mātou Tūrangawaewae, Ki te ako, Ki te tutuki

Welcome to Waitaki Valley School in Kurow.

Our unique school provides rich Year 1-8 education opportunities for tamariki living in the Waitaki Valley.  

We have a large catchment area, with children coming from around the Waitaki Valley area. Our children are keen learners, love to be involved in activities and are active in all that they do. We have a very supportive parent community. Our school has a current roll of 105 students.

Our learning spaces (Aoraki, Hauwhenua, Moana, Pukepuke and Mahutonga) reflect the unique environment that our children live in. Our purpose-built school provides a state of the art building within which we can utilise the spaces for collaborative, child-centred learning. 

Come on in and visit.

Nga mihi,

Jane Severinsen | Principal
