Bledisloe School

Welcome to Bledisloe School, a vibrant and well-resourced primary school located at 30A Meeanee Road in Napier, New Zealand. Our institution is not only an establishment but also a point of interest for students and families seeking a nurturing and high-quality education.

At Bledisloe School, we strive to be better than before in all that we do. Our mission is encapsulated in the Maori phrase "Kia Rangatira te tū," which means to stand tall and be leaders in our endeavors. With a supportive and skilled Board of Trustees overseeing our operations, we ensure that our school is maintained to the highest standards, providing a safe and conducive learning environment for our students.

Respect, resilience, and responsibility are the cornerstones of our school's culture. We believe in fostering a sense of Aroha (love), Rangatiratanga (leadership), and Manawanui (perseverance) in our students. These 3R's wellbeing expectations are instilled in both the classroom and the playground, shaping our students into well-rounded individuals who demonstrate these values in their interactions and actions.

Inside our vibrant classrooms, student learning is celebrated. We prioritize individualized education and tailor our activities to meet the unique needs of each student. Our learning expectations of Challenge, Curiosity, and Connection promote a love for learning and the acquisition of important skills that will empower your child's academic achievement.

Bledisloe School sits on the land of Ngāti Pārau, and we proudly acknowledge their pepeha (tribal saying). It reminds us of the importance of adorning the bird with feathers so that it may fly, symbolizing our commitment to nurturing and empowering our students to reach their full potential.

We operate on a term-based schedule, with Term 1 running from 30th January 2023 to 6th April 2023, and Term 4 from 9th October 2023 to 14th December 2023. We believe that education is a journey, and we are excited to embark on this journey with you and your child at Bledisloe School.
