About St Matthew’s Primary School (Hastings)
Welcome to St Matthew’s Primary School, nestled in the heart of Hastings on King Street South where education is celebrated with a spirit that reflects our diverse heritage.
St Matthew's stands as an inclusive educational environment for children aged three through eight. Under the guidance and leadership of Principal Andrew Eagle, we are proud to be recognized by Hawke’s Bay Education Office (HBEO) as a state integrated school that fosters learning with values at its core.
With an approximate roll size of 148 students from various backgrounds including our Asian and Pacific communities which make up significant portions, St Matthew's is committed to providing culturally responsive education. We cherish the richness that comes with this diversity as we prepare young minds for a world where understanding different perspectives is key.
As part of our commitment to community engagement and cultural awareness, St Matthew's actively celebrates its unique student demographic. We understand the importance of representation in education and work towards ensuring that all students feel seen, heard, and valued within their school setting.
