Our School

Welcome to Newlands Primary School where we inspire
lifelong successful creative learners.

Our mission is:

To have outstanding levels of achievement in literacy and numeracy for all learners.

To grow the ‘whole person’ to enable students to be healthy and resilient members of our community as well as lifelong, successful and creative learners.

To ensure our learners have a vibrant and purposeful place to learn.

We are a contributing primary school in the northern suburb of Newlands in Wellington City. We celebrated our centenary in 2006, proudly providing quality education to the community of Newlands for well over 100 years.

We are a medium sized school which draws from a culturally diverse community. The school community is extremely supportive, and works in close partnership to ensure all learners aspire to achieve at the highest levels in academic, sporting, cultural, and social aspects of their lives. Our school whakatauki reflects our belief in the school being a nurturing place for the rito or young learner to grow to their full potential with the support of family, school, and the wider community.

Newlands Primary School is the right place for you if you want your child to:

Newlands Primary School deeply values and celebrates Aotearoa Newland Zealand’s bicultural status. We also honour the many other cultural backgrounds our Newland’s families bring to our learning community. We are a mini united nations who work and play together, and learn from each other.
