Established in 1876, Wakanui School has a long and proud history of catering for local Year 1 to 8 students. Situated 10km east of Ashburton, and inclusive of an enrolment zone, we enjoy a rural environment whilst maintaining urban connections.
Our small class sizes ensure that we can cater for individual learning needs. Students in Year 4 and up utilise learning technologies to support their learning through a 1:1 ratio and BYOD programme. Our senior Year 7 and 8 students have many opportunities to develop leadership skills both within and beyond the school.
At Wakanui School, we believe in supporting our students to develop skills and knowledge in the key learning areas in conjunction with strong links to our community, rural environment, and modern technology. Our school values of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience and Excellence underpin all that we do.
Our school is very whānau oriented. We encourage active involvement from those who are part of the wider Wakanui family – parents, friends, grandparents, neighbours and community members. This gives Wakanui a strong foundation and a hard-working and generous support network.

Kia ora everyone,
A quick message on the off chance: our frozen pie and savoury orders (from last term’s fundraiser) are ready to be picked up this Thursday from the supplier in Christchurch. I’m wondering if any of our class whānau happen to be heading to Christchurch that day and would be willing to collect them for us?
It would be a huge help, and I can provide all the details you’d need, including pick-up location and time. Let me know if you might be able to help!
Cheers,
Dylan
