About Elgin School
Welcome to Elgin School, nestled in the heart of Gisborne on New Zealand’th South Island at 2 Knox Street, where we proudly serve a vibrant and culturally rich student body. Our school is an integral part of our community's fabric with approximately 37 students, representing the diverse tapestry that makes up New Zealand society.
As one of Gisborne's contributing state schools, Elgin School stands as a testament to inclusivity and co-educational learning. With an enrolment process rooted in respect for our students’ backgrounds, we ensure that every child feels welcomed at the school gates.
Our principal, Waiarani Eruera, embodies leadership with a deep commitment to fostering connections between learning and local Māori culture. Under her guidance, Elgin School thrives as an educational hub that respects its unique position within the Gisborne region.
Elgin-Gisborne Suburb: Situated in a beautiful suburb of our larger city, we are proud to be part of Elgin's community. This small but mighty town is where education meets culture and tradition with every sunrise.
