KIA ORA!
Te Kura o Whakaohorahi – Broad Bay School is a small semi-rural primary school on the beautiful Otago Peninsula, catering for tamariki aged 5–13. We embrace our stunning environment, encouraging tamariki to climb trees, explore, play, and create. Our tamariki learn to care for one another and grow as confident, capable self-managers.
Small classes, big opportunities
Our small class sizes mean more one-on-one time with kaiako/teachers, personalised learning, and strong support where it’s needed. This approach helps our tamariki thrive across the curriculum and beyond. If you’re looking for a school that offers enriched learning, extra support, and strong relationships, we’d love to meet you.
Community connections
Broad Bay School is like a whānau, inclusive of all. Our families and wider community are strong advocates, sharing their knowledge and skills to enrich our learning programmes. We live by the belief that it truly takes a village.
