About Us
Newtown School is a vibrant, culturally diverse school dedicated to providing our students with a wonderful experience throughout their primary school years.
We cater for students in Years 1 to 6, we offer a Te Reo Māori bilingual and full immersion class, Ngāti Kotahitanga, for students in Years 1 to 8.
We aim to provide a learning environment which values cultural identity, encourages personal achievement and develops life skills in readiness for an ever changing world.
Newtown School has an indoor, heated swimming pool that is currently being renovated, library, and computer room and school hall. When possible we make use of resources in the community and have frequent trips to Newtown Library, community gardens and parks. School trips are taken to the wider community like Te Papa, City Gallery and Wellington Zoo to support current learning topics.
Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of school supported activities during and after school. These vary depending on the capabilities of the current teaching staff and the availability of coaches but can include activities such as netball, mini polo, basketball and kapa haka.
There are also private providers of piano, drum and guitar lessons, during class time for a fee.
Before and after school care is available onsite.
