Greenhithe School

An Exciting Opportunity Awaits!

Greenhithe School is a cornerstone of our village, deeply woven into the fabric of the local community since 1893 with a rich history and connection to its surroundings. We have a roll of approximately 500, giving us a current U6 Grading.

Nestled in the heart of the North Shore, we are a school where tradition and innovation intersect, and where our shared journey is guided by the values of our community. We’re a kura with a proud history, a strong sense of whanaungatanga, and a deep commitment to nurturing the potential of every tamaiti (child).

We strive to deliver strong evidence-based literacy and numeracy while maintaining a well-balanced curriculum and holistic focus that includes STEM, EOTC (Education Outside the Classroom), arts, culture, sport and wellbeing. Te Reo and Tikanga Māori are valued and interwoven throughout our curriculum and ethos.

Our Board is highly experienced and collaborates strategically with school leadership to support and implement the school’s vision and strategic plan.

• Understands and recognizes the importance of the school at the heart of the Greenhithe community.
• Is highly visible, approachable and engaged with students, staff and community
