Kia ora. My name is Bede and I am proud to be Tumuaki (Principal) of our school.
I have been at Winchester School since 2016 and prior to coming here I was Principal at Opiki School for 7 years. I have taught at many schools in Palmertson North including Riverdale School, Milson School, Roslyn School, College Street Normal School and also in Feilding at North Street School.
Our school vision is to be a welcoming, dynamic environment that fosters creativity and life long learning. He kura maioha, he kura manahau, he kura whakamana tamariki.
Winchester School offers a well-rounded education and schooling experience. Students begin their time here in a play-based atmosphere where formal learning is introduced. All students experience a range of academic, digital, cultural and sporting opportunities.
Our classrooms showcase a variety of learning and a strong feature is art work which is proudly displayed around our school. We are well resourced with spacious grounds, playgrounds, turf area and gardens including a native bush area.
Perhaps the most significant aspect of our school is the strong family atmosphere that reflects the wonderful community that makes up Winchester School.
If you are considering becoming part of the Winchester School community, please make contact with us at school to learn more about what is on offer. I look forward to meeting you and your child.
