About Halfmoon Bay School

Halfmoon Bay School, nestled in the heart of Half Moon Bay on Stewart Island within Southland's lush landscapes, offers a unique and co-educational full primary experience for its students. With an approximate roll size encompassing just 30 eager learners, this state school fosters close community ties that contribute to the warmth of daily interactions in Ayr Street classrooms led by Principal Kathryn Johnson—a dedicated leader who embodies our core values and beliefs about education. Our educational journey begins with a strong foundation built upon respect for self, others, culture, environment, spirituality, democracy, social justice, equality, human rights, freedom of expression, integrity, honesty, compassion, caring, courage, perseverance and resilience—values that resonate deeply within our school's ethos. We believe in the power of relationships to shape a positive learning environment where every student is valued for their unique qualities as part of an inclusive community. As we embrace diversity both locally and globally, Halfmoon Bay School encourages students from various backgrounds to share experiences while celebrating differences that enrich the collective tapestry of our school family. We understand that education extends beyond academic success—it is about nurturing compassionate individuals who contribute meaningfully to society as they learn and grow together
