About Cannington School
Welcome to Cannington School, a vibrant and inclusive community nestled in the heart of Canterbury's suburbia at 794 Cannington Road.
At our full primary co-educational institution with an approximate roll size of just over twenty students, we pride ourselves on personalized education under the watchful eye and leadership of Principal Deane Power. Our core values are deeply rooted in respect, responsibility, integrity, inclusivity, and a lifelong love for learning—principles that guide every aspect of our school culture.
The Cannington School journey begins with an enrolment process designed to be welcoming yet thorough. Interested parents or guardians can apply through the New Zealand Education Authority's website, where they will find detailed information on how to submit their child for a comprehensive assessment of our educational environment.
Located in Cannington, this charming suburb is surrounded by natural beauty and community spirit. Our school stands as an integral part of the local fabric, offering not just education but also opportunities for students to engage with their wider region through various outreach programs that connect them directly with Canterbury's rich heritage.
