About Wanaka Primary School
Welcome to Wanaka Primary School, a vibrant and nurturing educational community nestled in the heart of beautiful New Zealand's Otago region.
At this state-run contributing school located at 7 Ironside Drive within our picturesque suburb of Wanaka, we are proud to offer education for approximately 494 students. Our inclusive and co-educational environment is designed with the belief that every child deserves equal opportunities in learning.
"Education at its best happens when all learners feel valued," says our dedicated principal, Rob Rush, who has been instrumental in fostering a culture of respect and high expectations. Under his leadership, Wanaka Primary School upholds core values such as integrity, perseverance, empathy, curiosity, and community engagement.
Surrounded by the stunning natural landscapes that define Otago's unique setting, our school is a gateway to exploring not only academic knowledge but also environmental stewardship. The Wanaka Primary School experience extends beyond traditional classroom walls as students immerse themselves in activities and projects related to their local region.
