WELCOME TO WESTSHORE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Westshore School is located on Ferguson Avenue in the Napier Suburb of Westshore, a unique setting beside the sea.
We use this environment as part of the teaching programmes at Westshore School with a focus of exploring and understanding natural settings both within the school gardens, along the seashore and estuary. We are not zoned and welcome children from all around Napier.
At Westshore school, ākonga are placed at the centre.
Every ākonga will reach their full potential through having a strong sense of identity and belonging to our school and ownership over their learning.
Our kaupapa is that all students will thrive in our inclusive learning environment without compromising who they are.
Our staff position themselves as learners alongside students. Westshore School
students and staff are: committed, confident, connected and actively involved lifelong learners.
