Welcome to Harewood
School
Harewood
School is a co-educational, contributing primary school catering for
children from year 0-6, with a decile 8 Ministry
of Education rating and a grading roll of about 195 pupils.
The school is located in a traditionally market
gardening and orchard area on the periphery of Christchurch,
near the Christchurch
International Airport. It is close enough to the
city for consumer convenience, yet set in a semi-rural area.
Harewood School was established in 1862 and has many lovely old
English trees, a native bush area and a war memorial at it's
entrance. In 2002 we celebrated our 140th Jubilee.
The philosophy of the school is to facilitate
the development of all children in it's care, to
their fullest potential. The children are given many opportunities to
explore experiences which enhance learning and personal development. We
have excellent support from parents who help in the classroom, on trips and
with events.
At Harewood
School we strive to
develop children who are:
• confident, collaborative and connected
• strong in literacy and numeracy
• deep thinkers
• purposeful and productive learners
• living our school values
An enrolment scheme was implemented in the
beginning of 2005 as a re-zoning of part of the green belt to residential
has led to more families living in closer proximity to the school. A ballot
is undertaken in September for children living out of zone. This process
will continue while the Enrolment Scheme remains in place.
Contact the school office for more
information.
