Welcome to 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 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.

Fundraising
10 Jul 2025

I hope everyone's had a great holiday. 

Two fundraising opportunities to start Term 3 off with a bang. 

We have an awesome raffle, the last one (fingers crossed) for the playground. There will be a sheet coming home on Monday for each family to sell 10 tickets. Details will be on the sheet sent home. These raffles are full of awesome vouchers, great to re-gift as birthday or Christmas presents. 

The year 7 & 8s are fundraising for camp at the end of the year. They will be selling and cooking pies every odd week of term, starting this coming week. Pies are $6 and sausage rolls $3. The money needs to be in to Mrs Phillips by the Wednesday. 

Any questions let me know.
