A note from the principal

Welcome to the Shirley Primary School website. Shirley Primary School is a fabulous, multi-cultural school where we encourage all of our S*T*A*R learners to reach for the stars, whāia te iti kahurangi! we do this by Striving for excellence, Taking responsibility, Actively collaborating and showing Respect.

We have high expectations for our children. Shirley Primary School is a school where learning is fun, challenging and authentic, foundation skills are nurtured, teaching is high quality and children become life-long learners.

We believe that your child’s education is a partnership between the parents/caregivers, the school and the child. Good communication between all three will help the level of success. Parents/Caregivers are encouraged to be involved in school activities, as well as supporting and encouraging your child in activities in which s/he is involved. 

I hope you enjoy our website. If you would like to know more about our school or have a look for yourself please feel free to contact me.  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
