Sunnyvale Primary School

Sunnyvale Primary School is a vibrant and inclusive institution located at 34 Ribblesdale Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As a primary school, we cater to students aged 5-11 years old, providing them with a nurturing and supportive learning environment.

At Sunnyvale Primary School, we believe that learning is a lifelong journey. Our dedicated and caring staff are committed to fostering a culture of belonging, inclusiveness, diversity, and success. We value and model the importance of understanding what learning and progress look like, sound like, and feel like. Through this approach, we aim to develop our students' understanding of themselves as learners and empower them to engage with and lead their own learning.

We take pride in our school values of whanaungatanga (relationships), manaakitanga (respect), aroha (love), and tuakana teina (peer support). These values guide our students' behavior and interactions, promoting a sense of belonging and unity. We celebrate and embrace our students' unique identities and work together to create a supportive and inclusive community.

Our curriculum is learner-focused and aims to make connections to our students' lives, their community, and our values. We emphasize the importance of setting goals and understanding what progress looks like in order to support our students' personal and academic growth. Our integrated learning approach ensures that teaching and learning in subjects such as The Arts, Science, Technology, Social Sciences, Health, and PE are meaningful, creative, and enjoyable.

Sunnyvale Primary School is home to a diverse community, representing many different cultures. We value and celebrate this diversity, fostering an environment that promotes cultural understanding and appreciation. Our inclusive practices, creativity, digital learning, and focus on culture and innovation further strengthen and build on our students' prior knowledge, strengths, experiences, confidence, and relationships.

As a contributing Year 1-6 school, we work closely with our students and their families to prepare them for a successful transition to Intermediate School and beyond. We aim to develop in our students a strong sense of identity, ensuring that they feel confident, successful, and safe. Our dedicated staff, along with our learner-focused curriculum, respond to and value each and every child and their family on their unique learning pathway.
