Halswell School - Te Kura O Te Tauawa

Welcome to Halswell School - Te Kura O Te Tauawa, located in the beautiful city of Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we are proud to be a primary school that focuses on growing connections and relationships to create a strong sense of belonging within our school community.

At Halswell School, we see ourselves as guardians of knowledge, resources, and the environment. We believe in nurturing our students' curiosity and love for learning, while also instilling in them a sense of responsibility towards the world around them.

We understand that transitioning into a new school can be a big step for both children and parents. That's why we offer three preschool visits, allowing children to get to know their teacher and classmates, and familiarize themselves with school routines and classroom programs. We believe that these early experiences help set the foundation for a successful educational journey.

During a child's first years at Halswell School, we place a strong emphasis on developing foundation skills in literacy and numeracy. Additionally, we encourage our students to develop key competencies that are essential for lifelong learning. We firmly believe that by nurturing these skills early on, we are preparing our students for future success.

Our teachers and students work together to create a supportive and caring environment. We believe in the power of collaboration and regularly celebrate our experiences, class work, and achievements during team assemblies. This not only fosters a sense of community but also encourages our students to take pride in their work.

In our Ōtāwhito program, our staff work together to encourage collaborative learning in a dynamic and modern environment. We believe in developing independent learners and give our students the opportunity to pursue their own interests and passions.

For our early adolescent students, our Ōtūmatua program provides a supportive environment to develop academic skills, key competencies, and cultural abilities. We believe in equipping our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in secondary schooling and beyond.

At Halswell School, we have a fantastic library filled with a wide range of books to cater to all reading and information needs. Our librarian, Zac McCallum, is always on hand to help students discover exciting new reads.

As an international student, you can expect the very best educational, social, and family environments at Halswell School. We are dedicated to providing a holistic learning experience that prepares our students for a bright future.
