Our amazing students are at the heart of our school, as we support them to learn and grow. Their interests and strengths are paramount, as we work alongside parents to develop learning programmes that are challenging, exciting and fun. Our detailed and precisely tailored programmes always include specialists, families and whānau, and the community.
Our lovely small school is nestled between the Maitai River and Queen’s Gardens in central Nelson, adding beauty to our nurturing and calming environment. Take a look at our delightful photo galleries to view our place, and the great range of learning opportunities we offer.
We believe in our students and know they can succeed.

The Board's Role
The Board's Role
The Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring the school complies with all legal directives made by the government and the Ministry of Education. This is done by ensuring we have robust policies and procedures in place. There is a clearly documented line between board work and management work. Boards of trustees govern (oversee management) and principals manage the school. It is not the role of the Board of Trustees to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the school, this is the responsibility of the principal and the school staff.
Board work is primarily about governance of the school. Governance involves setting strategic direction through our vision, core values and strategic goals. Core work of the board includes setting targets and tracking student progress. This also includes regular review of curriculum areas. The board monitors financial expenditure of the school and sets a yearly budget. We also establish long term property plans and prioritize property projects with allocated funds.

Policies
From time to time the Board, Staff and School Community review policies and procedures. This gives all stakeholders the opportunity to have a say in how certain aspects of the school and currculum are managed.
When required to do so, you will be notified in the newsletter of which policy we are reviewing and you can access the SchoolDocs website and review the policy and leave comment where appropriate.
