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

Mōrena Folks,
Our boiler had a malfunction on Tuesday. It had to be powered off and the part won't arrive until the 13th. Heating to the pool has been switched off slightly earlier than anticipated for anyone thinking they will get one last dip in.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Have a fantastic Easter break!
Good afternoon Folks!!
Hope all is well in your corner of the community!
A massive thank you to Lovey and the GRCC for the use of the van to get us over to Colac Bay for school camp.
Plenty going on over the next couple of weeks, doesn't look like much in May but don't let that fool you. Duck shooting and more importantly Mother's day then it rolls into the Tussock music festival at the end!
Have a safe and fantastic Easter break (if you have one) and catch you round the traps!!
And so, term one is done and dusted. We have great excitement today with the school photos underway.
Term Two sees us preparing for the Wearable Arts Flights of
Fancy Extravanagnza. More details will follow next term, but
in the meantime let your mind embrace the vast possibilities
for your families.
Changeover is not far away so please, if you become aware
of any new families in the district, let them know that Gorge Road School would be delighted to enrol their children, and that we accept children from year 0 to year 8.
Our buses can cover quite an area, beyond where they currently run. The routes are often able to be modified for new children.
There's been a hiccup with the big bus. Go Bus are sending a van from town now, and will pick up any children who are waiting.
They'll be about half an hour away.
Mōrena Everyone/Whanau,
We have school photos on Wednesday the 1st of April.
Once again, the amazing team at Southern snapz has offered to take sibling and/or family photos.
Could you please let Brendan in our school office know if you wish to have these taken by Sunday the 29th at the latest.
Have a fantastic day!
