LEARN TO LIVE

Our Colwill School Massey Community helps our local people to learn to live, to be caring, be kind and to be careful!

Colwill School Massey is a state, co-educational, full primary school catering for school Years 1 to 8 (New Entrant through to the end of Intermediate), is an inclusive school and welcomes children of all abilities and cultures. Colwill School Massey is a truly multicultural environment with about 30 different ethnic groups, all respected and treasured.

Students experience a broad curriculum within an inclusive culture. They are given many opportunities to express and enjoy their own culture and to learn about the cultures of others. We regularly host international students. Colwill School is building strong community partnerships with all Maori and Pasifika groups and has a thriving performing arts cultural group. It aims to be the school of choice for the local community who want a seamless education for students from Years 1-8 and to have Y8 students ‘high school ready’.

Students with super-powers, including those with different needs, are encouraged and appreciated at Colwill and all their powers will be developed to their fullest capabilities. We have a satellite unit of Arohanui School.

The school feels warm and welcoming, the students are polite and friendly and care about their friends, the staff and their school environment. The gardens are attractively planted and restful; there is a Hall, a heated swimming pool used for nearly half the year and large playing fields.

The first point of contact for our Parents as enrolments take place with Nicky, our Welfare Engagement and Enrolment Officer.

We have a dedicated staff of teachers and senior management, language assistants and teacher aides, SENCO and SWIS who are focused on the needs of all our students. There is an after-school study centre. Samoan Preschool is also available Monday to Wednesday in the Community Hub.

All students are supported to learn lots and give everything a go!

Walk or Wheel to School

22 Mar 2026

WoW Week – Walk or Wheel to School!

Our kura is excited to be taking part in WoW Week, a fun Travelwise initiative that encourages tamariki to walk, wheel, bike, or scoot to school. This is a great opportunity to build healthy habits, reduce traffic around the school, and support our environment. Whānau can support this kaupapa by choosing active travel where possible, or by parking a little further away and walking the rest of the journey together. It’s a simple way to get moving and enjoy some fresh air before the school day begins.

As part of WoW Week, on Wednesday 25th, Colwill School will be taking part in a whole-school walk. We will be walking together from school to Spargo Park and back again, encouraging our tamariki to stay active and connected as a school community. We look forward to seeing everyone getting involved and making the most of this positive, energetic week!

Must wear a helmet.
