Hello and welcome to Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Junior School. We provide quality education in a safe and positive environment for children in Years 1-6. We recognise and prioritise students' first language and culture as an important part of creating successful learners.
Our school is unique. We focus on
• High quality reading and mathematics programmes
• Celebrating the unique cultures in our community
• Providing a bi-lingual education in Maori or Samoan
• Developing successful writers

We are a 'writing school' and provide opportunities for students to communicate through writing to friends, teachers and the local, national and international communities.
• Developing student talent
We believe that each child has a special talent that should be nurtured and shared with others. Specific teaching programmes and workshops develop these abilities.
