Mairehau Primary School

Welcome to Mairehau Primary School, a vibrant and inclusive learning community located in Christchurch, New Zealand. Situated on Mahars Road, our school is a point of interest and a trusted establishment in the area.

At Mairehau Primary School, we are committed to providing high-quality education to children not only from the Mairehau area but also beyond. Our primary school caters to students ranging from new entrants to intermediate levels, ensuring a seamless educational journey for all.

One of our core values is the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive academically and socially. To achieve this, we offer specialized programs to support children with diverse needs, while also providing enrichment opportunities for those who excel. Our students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, confidently reporting their progress directly to their parents/whānau. This empowers them to actively participate in their own educational journey.

At Mairehau Primary School, we believe in the holistic development of our students. In addition to our comprehensive academic curriculum, we offer an array of extra-curricular activities to cater to various interests. Our students have the opportunity to participate in two choirs, Dance Expo, Jump Jam, Kapa haka group, Aerobics, Samoan culture group, and music tuition in keyboard, guitar, drums, and ukulele. We also have sports teams competing in rugby, hockey, netball, soccer, athletics, and cross country. These activities not only promote physical fitness but also foster teamwork, discipline, and a sense of camaraderie.

Leadership is a key focus at Mairehau Primary School. Our senior students are given the opportunity to take on leadership roles such as head boy and girl, student leaders, and house captains. These roles provide valuable experiences in responsibility, decision-making, and teamwork, preparing our students for future leadership positions.

We take pride in our dedicated and passionate teaching staff who are committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment for all students. Our school values collaboration between staff, students, parents, and the wider community, as we believe that a strong partnership is essential in supporting the growth and success of our students.

Mairehau Primary School is not just a place of education; it is a place where friendships are formed, talents are discovered, and dreams are nurtured. We invite you to join our community and experience the warmth and excellence that Mairehau Primary School has to offer.
