Principal's Welcome

Tēnā koutou katoa,

I am delighted to welcome you to Glenbervie School, where our holistic approach to education ensures every child feels valued and supported as they grow. Our school values: Kia Aroha (Kindness), Kia Māia (Confidence) and Kia Manawanui (Resilience) are the foundation of our Kaupapa / School Culture and we believe building genuine relationships are central to seeing students flourish.

Collectively, our staff are dedicated to unlocking each student's potential. Together, we foster an environment where every child is supported to reach for aspirational outcomes, celebrating their unique strengths and guiding individuals towards their "Pathways to Excellence" - "Piki ake ki te taumata". 

At Glenbervie, we accept the Mauri (life force), where we represent the wisdom of those who have come before us, whilst embracing our responsibility to those who will follow. Your child's journey will be one of growth, kindness, and unwavering support, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world. Our school reputation enjoys a collaborative connection with our community.

We embrace the aspirations that parents have for their child, and together plan to achieve these goals. Additionally, Glenbervie School contributes to the educational landscape of Whangārei and we are proud to be part of a range of academic and sporting events across the city. I look forward to welcoming your whānau to Glenbervie School.

Ngā mihi nui
