Welcome to Pine Hill School: Reaching for the Top!
Pine Hill School is a wonderful place of learning where tamariki from year 1-6 truly embody our core values of Aiming High, Respect, and Responsibility.
We understand that schooling is a very important part of life, and we aim to offer everything you are looking for in an education for your tamariki.
Our vision, 'Reaching for the Top!', isn't just a motto; it's a commitment woven into everything we do. We strive to ensure all tamariki do their very best in their education, supported by a dedicated team and an environment designed for success.
Our extensive grounds provide ample space for exploration and play, complementing our four vibrant classrooms. Tamariki learn within our carefully structured teams: Junior Learning Team 1 (Years 0/1), Junior Learning Team 2 (Years 1/2), Middle Learning Team (Years 3/4), and Senior Learning Team (Years 5/6). A key strength of Pine Hill School is our small class sizes, which ensure that all tamariki receive valuable, individualised learning time with their teachers. This allows us to effectively cater for individual learning needs, providing tailored support and learning experiences so all tamariki can reach their full potential. We are dedicated to providing numerous learning opportunities for all tamariki, both inside and outside the classroom learning environment.
Pine Hill School is truly an excellent choice for the learning journey of your tamariki, helping them develop into lifelong learners through fostering curiosity, independence, confidence, critical thinking, and a love for learning.
Our staff are committed to staying current with educational pedagogy and trends, ensuring our teaching practices are always up-to-date and effective.
If you require any further information about our school, please don't hesitate to reach out directly to me. I'd be delighted to answer your questions and share more about what makes me proud to lead such a fantastic school.
