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.

Can you help?

Morena whānau,

Room 1 are learning about New Zealand native birds this term. We are learning about the challenges they face to find food in the winter and I am planning to make sugar water feeders with them. For this we need 1.5litre bottles. So if you could save your fizzy drink bottles or 1.5 litre water bottles (such as Kiwi blue) and either send them with your child or drop them into the office this would be much appreciated.

 

Also, our sandpit is a hive of activity with lots of construction and roadworks taking place. However, we are in desperate need of some more sandpit toys and trucks. Are you an avid op-shopper and can search the second hand shops for us or do you have any at home that are no longer needed? All donations of sandpit toys will be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Arohanui,

Whaea Jess.
