KIA ORA!
Te Kura o Whakaohorahi - Broad Bay School, is a small semi-rural primary school on the Otago Peninsula. We cater for tamariki from 5 - 13 years old by utilising the unique and stunning Peninsula environment. We are the kind of school that encourages our tamariki to engage with the environment - they climb trees, run around, and build things in the playground. We foster a culture where children look after each other and learn to become self-managers.
WE PUT IN THE MAHI
One of our strengths is our small class sizes, offering more individual time with our kaiako/teachers to support the learning of our tamariki. This means not only do our tamariki have access to extra learning and behaviour support should they need it, but we also achieve highly across the Curriculum compared to national results. If you are looking for a school for your child that is able to provide more time to enhance learning experiences, extra support when needed, and strong relationships that stem from our Broad Bay community, then we would love to meet you.
COMMUNITY
CONNECTIONS
We are a learning environment that runs as a whānau and is inclusive of all community members. Our families and wider community are passionate advocates for our school and the learning of our tamariki, and our community members hold a wealth of knowledge that we utilise as part of our learning programmes. We truly believe it takes a village.
