Albany Primary School is a school with a rich history and an exciting future. We pride ourselves on the happy, friendly and safe environment that is evident from the moment you enter our grounds. Learning is not silent at our school but shouts with curiosity and challenge.
Our goal is to ensure that your child is given every opportunity possible to develop and grow through our inclusive and holistic curriculum.
The school’s vision “where learning makes a difference” is the foundation for all we do.
Our values of Respect, Excellence, Aroha and caring, Creativity, and Honesty (REACH) are modelled and reinforced by the teachers as essential qualities that we all strive for in our learning community.
International Student Enrolments
All of our international students are encouraged to participate in ELL lessons matched to their needs. The School currently has a special room dedicated to the international students, staffed by a specialist Teacher who works with groups of 6 to 8 children. In addition, children are well supported in their learning by their Class Teachers and Teacher Aides. Our classes are small and progress can be rapid.
To ensure that our international students gain the most from their New Zealand education and experience we provide a buddy and peer support system within the School. Wherever possible, our international students are introduced to other children within the class or School who speak their language, thus ensuring our international students always have a friend for support in the classroom or out in the playground, should they have worries or difficulties.
