Colwill School

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!
