Our Vision 


To ensure our students are able to take their place in the world they will be Resilient, Resourceful, Respectful and Responsible individuals 

Principal's Welcome

 

Gorge Road School is a Year 1-8, full primary school located on the Southern Scenic Route to the Catlins between Invercargill and Fortrose. We are staffed with three teachers for core curriculum areas, and a teaching Principal.  Our staff brings a range of expertise, abilities and interests to their classrooms, providing a broad foundation for creative and exciting educational opportunities and positive learning outcomes for all of our students.

Our school is a key part of the Gorge Road community and is well served by a team of highly professional and skilled staff, an efficiently run Board of Trustees led by Dianne, and an enthusiastic PTA led by Kim . 

Gorge Road School is part of the Lower Mataura Valley Community of Learning and the Southern Zone Cluster of Schools. The Zone offers a wide range of sports as well as opportunities to mix with seven other schools for inter-school sporting and cultural experiences. The Zone also runs a programme especially for Years 7 & 8 students.

Our small class sizes allow us to ensure optimum levels of achievement for all students by engaging them in personalised learning relevant to their needs, so they are challenged and motivated to work hard, and to enjoy their successes.

We pride ourselves on being a vibrant multi-cultural environment, with students identifying as NZ European, Indonesian, Dutch, Filipino and Maori. See our performance at Polyfest 2019

We are committed to maintaining strong partnerships between school and home.
We believe that the best learning takes place with positive, transparent communication, and encourage you to share your comments regarding your child’s learning with us.

Good Afternoon Folks!


Well, that's another year wrapping up, scary how fast it's gone! 
The weather hasn't been playing ball over the last 3 months but it's starting to look up now. 

Certainly did affect the community in more ways than one, the Kapuka 1000 being cancelled, road damage / closures and just wet and miserable.... 

 

The Gorge Road School production this year is Charlie and the chocolate factory. There is a full dress rehearsal Tuesday @ 10:30am sharp in the Gorge Road Community center for (some of our more senior) members of the community, and those that can't make the Wednesday night performance. 

Below are a couple of things happening around the place.

The Wyndham A&P show is this weekend.

All the best for the "silly" season ahead, drive safe and catch you when I see you! 

Many thanks
