PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME
Kia ora koutou,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Waipu School. Nestled in the heart of our beautiful rural beach community, our school is a place where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
At Waipu School, we believe in providing a well-rounded education that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and a love for life long learning. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a positive and inclusive environment where students feel happy, successful, safe, confident, connected and engaged.
Our curriculum reflects the rich diversity of Aotearoa New Zealand, incorporating Te Ao Māori, sustainability, and global perspectives to prepare our students for an ever-changing world. We are proud of our strong academic foundation, vibrant arts and sports programmes, and the many opportunities we offer for leadership and personal growth.
We encourage strong partnerships between school, whānau, and the wider community because we know that when we work together, our tamariki thrive. Whether you are a current or prospective family, we invite you to explore our website, visit our kura, and join us on this exciting journey of learning and discovery.
Ngā mihi nui,
Belinda Bunny
