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 love heading off on adventures, whether this is inside our school grounds or out in the big wide world. We visit our awesome coastline every year and love to go on bush walks or into Wellington to see what we can visit there. We make the most of our time outside of school and appreciate our amazing parents who come along on these adventures with us.
Stay up-to-date with all of our adventures and news by following our Instagram or Facebook page.
If you would like to know more about us or would like to stop in and have a look around, please feel free to contact us.
To develop young people who will be passionate about learning, superb managers of self, respectful, skilled communicators, inquiring learners, deep thinkers, and confident about the future.
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.

Hi folks
We've got a new lock for the school pool so if you'd like access over the summer come down and see us
This summer it will be pretty simple. You won't need to worry about cleaning the pool or topping up chemicals. You'll just need to do your fair share of cleaning the toilets and changing shed. All the equipment will be sitting there.
Keys will be $75 and you'll get $15 back when you return your key at the end of summer.
Get in touch with myself or Jess in the office to make arrangements for your key.

Hi everyone you might've heard from your child about Wilson getting hurt in the pool today.
Wilson hit his head badly whilst jumping in the pool today. We were able to get him medical help as soon as possible and that ended up being a trip over the hill in the chopper to be checked by the paediatric team. Obviously head knocks can be serious.
Everyone including the kids did a great job responding to the incident.
We'll be looking at our safety rules in the pool area as a result of this and of course we wish Wilson and his family all the best as Wilson bounces back.
