About Pitt Island School
Nestled in the heart of Pitt Island, within the serene suburb known for its vibrant sense of community lies a unique educational gem – Pitt Island School. This full-primary co-educational school, located at Flower Pot-Glory Road on the Chatham Islands, is a testament to New Zealand's commitment to embracing diversity and fostering an inclusive learning environment. With approximately 10 students enrolled from various backgrounds including Māori (58%) and European/Pākehā (42%), the school proudly reflects its rich cultural heritage, which is a significant aspect of its character.
Principal Nic Hill, at the helm with passionate dedication to education that respects all cultures and traditions, has been instrumental in shaping Pitt Island School into an institution where every child feels valued. The school's approach is deeply rooted in New Zealand values such as manaakitanga (respect), whanaungatanga (connectedness), and kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the environment). These principles are not just words but actions that resonate through every interaction within its walls
