PIRINOA SCHOOL

The Southernmost school in the North Island, Pirinoa School is located in the South Wairarapa; 20 minutes south of Martinborough and 10 minutes north of Lake Ferry... We are a small school, with 52 students, 3 classrooms and an amazing outdoor area where we enjoy climbing trees, making huts and playing heaps of different sports games. We pick fruit from our orchard when it's the right season and love planting new vegetables in our veggie gardens... We have a learning centred approach, we value but challenge students' point of view, we pose problems to stimulate thinking, we understand that students learn differently and require quality feedback, we value relationships, we understand the importance of students acquiring knowledge and putting that knowledge into meaningful contexts.
