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.

We are doing a big final push to get a new playground in the ground this year. This involves a lot of fundraising and grant applications. We need your help!

Monday (14th April) morning 10am we are picking up pinecones down Te Rata Road. We have a couple of families coming along to help but the more the merrier. Contact me for the address. 

On Sunday 20th April from 6-8am at the Martinborough Golf Course we have a spot at the Balloons over Wairarapa ascension. We are planning on having a bakesale table. If you could either be there to lend a hand or provide baking for us please let me know. Baking can be dropped off at my house or I can come and pick up on Saturday afternoon or evening. 

Looking forward to hearing from you all.
