Elmgrove School

Welcome to Elmgrove School, a leading primary school located at 74 Argyle Street in Mosgiel, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest in the local community, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive learning environment for all our students.

At Elmgrove School, we prioritize the success and confidence of each child. Our school philosophy centers around ensuring that every student works at a level where they can experience achievement and develop a love for learning. We believe that by fostering a positive and encouraging atmosphere, we can help our students reach their full potential.

One of our proudest features is our 14 teaching spaces, which have been divided into 7 collaborative hubs. This innovative approach to education promotes teamwork, cooperation, and peer-to-peer learning. Additionally, our outdoor classroom further enhances our students' learning experiences and aligns perfectly with our Enviroschool focus on health promotion and sustainable living.

The values of Caring, Perseverance, Respect, and Responsibility are not only taught in our classrooms but also reinforced in our playground. Our students have the opportunity to earn Tumeke Cards, fostering a sense of pride and achievement in their behavior and actions. We firmly believe that this values-based approach, combined with other positive behavior for learning strategies, contributes to the positive culture and overall success of our students.

We understand the needs of busy families, which is why we offer before school care, after school care, and a holiday program. These services provide a safe and stimulating environment for our students outside of regular school hours, ensuring that their learning and development continue to be supported.

At Elmgrove School, we embrace the Maori proverb "Poipoia te kākano, kia puawai," which translates to "Nurture the seed and it will blossom." We are committed to nurturing the potential within each child, helping them grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.
