Kia ora e te whānau,
We warmly welcome you to Waitati Kura, a heart-centred place where learning thrives amidst the beauty of nature and the warmth of a close-knit community!
We are a small, vibrant country school located in Waitati, Dunedin. Our roots run deep; the first Waitati (Blueskin) School opened back in 1864, giving us a rich history we are proud to uphold.
We are deeply committed to being a community-focused and Enviroschools-focused place of learning. We are proud of our ākonga and proud to work closely with our families and the local community.
Our passionate and dedicated team help children thrive in and out of the classroom. There’s always lots going on every term! Our vibrant curriculum includes sports, school trips, class assemblies, school camps, and our exciting Enviroschools programme.
At Waitati School, our core purpose is to create a true sense of belonging—a safe space where every child is free to be exactly who they are. We nurture individual strengths and passions, ensuring all students feel valued, respected, and heard.
Come and experience a school where your child can grow confidently, connect meaningfully, and learn joyfully!
