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.

Scabies Notification
21 Jul 2026

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We have been advised of a confirmed case of scabies within our school community.

As a precaution, we are asking all families to be aware of the signs and symptoms of scabies and to check their children if they develop an itchy rash or other symptoms.

Please find attached an information sheet about scabies, including symptoms, treatment, and steps to help prevent its spread.

If your child is diagnosed with scabies, please begin treatment promptly and let the school know. Children can usually return to school after the first treatment has been completed, in line with health guidance.

Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a healthy school environment. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the school.

Kind regards,

Pirinoa School

Parent-Teacher Interviews – Week 3
20 Jul 2026

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Our Parent-Teacher Interviews will be held during Week 3 on Tuesday 4 August and Wednesday 5 August.

These 15-minute interviews provide an opportunity to discuss your child's recent school report, celebrate their progress, and work together to set goals for the term ahead. We value the partnership between home and school and encourage every family to attend.

To book your interview, please head to Skool Loop and select a suitable time with your child's teacher. If you would also like to meet with our Principal, Toby, you can book an appointment with him through Skool Loop as well.

Our goal is to achieve 100% attendance at interviews so we can continue to build strong relationships and keep communication open between home and school.

We look forward to meeting with you and working together to support your child's learning and success.

Kind regards,

Pirinoa School
