We encourage our tamariki to be caring, considerate and respectful akonga, responsible for their own learning journey.

Warm Welcome from Our Principal

Tēnā koutou katoa,

On behalf of the staff and students at Canvastown School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our school website. We are a close-knit, vibrant community where students are at the heart of everything we do.

At Canvastown, we pride ourselves on creating a positive and inclusive learning environment where every child has the opportunity to shine – both academically and in extracurricular activities. Our students are encouraged to grow as individuals, develop strong values, and build the skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our students, both in the classroom and beyond, and are grateful for the support of our dedicated staff, parents, caregivers, and whānau. Together, we foster an environment where learning is celebrated, success is achieved, and our community spirit is strong.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the wonderful things happening at Canvastown School. If you have any questions or would like to be involved in our school community, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Let’s continue to work together to inspire, support, and celebrate the success of our students.

Ngā mihi nui,
Alistair Dalziel,
Principal | Canvastown School
