About Us

Senior School.jpg

Waipu Primary School is a decile 7 school in beautiful Bream Bay.

We believe our motto of:
"Quality is what we do around here"
is reflected throughout the school by the work and behavioural standards of our students as well as the school setting

The school roll is always around 240 and currently 10 classrooms operate. The BOT employ an additional teacher to keep class numbers as low as possible.

We are part of an innovative group of schools operating a Gifted and Talented class one day a week paid for by private sponsorship from a local timber firm-Northpine.
