We encourage our tamariki to be caring, considerate and respectful akonga, responsible for their own learning journey. |
Tēnā koutou katoa,
On behalf of the staff and students at Canvastown School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our school website. We are a close-knit, vibrant community where students are at the heart of everything we do.
At Canvastown, we pride ourselves on creating a positive and inclusive learning environment where every child has the opportunity to shine – both academically and in extracurricular activities. Our students are encouraged to grow as individuals, develop strong values, and build the skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our students, both in the classroom and beyond, and are grateful for the support of our dedicated staff, parents, caregivers, and whānau. Together, we foster an environment where learning is celebrated, success is achieved, and our community spirit is strong.
I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the wonderful things happening at Canvastown School. If you have any questions or would like to be involved in our school community, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Let’s continue to work together to inspire, support, and celebrate the success of our students.
Ngā mihi nui,
Alistair Dalziel,
Principal | Canvastown School

This year's school photos have arrived and can be collected from school either today, tomorrow, or they can go home with your child next week. Sometimes someone can get an 'extra' in their package that they did not order, or are missing a print that they paid for. If this happens, please get in touch with us and we'll try to find the owner. Thank you.
Year 7&8 tech tomorrow - please wear covered shoes, have long hair tied back, keep cell phones in your bag, and wear your Canvastown School sports top. Either Billy or I will accompany the students to and from tech. Lunch orders on Thursday. Our Year 7&8 students are leading the last assembly for this term on Thursday from 2 pm, do come along! Term ends on Thursday at 2:45 pm and we're back for Term 2 on Monday 20th April (it's tech that day too!). Thank you for your support.
