This award-winning new primary school was officially opened in August 2010 although the first classrooms were opened in February 2010.

The school’s Establishment Board had a strong vision for the teaching and values of the school. Our ambition was to create a school that embraced those core values – one that provides a welcoming, caring and inclusive environment serving the needs of the learning community. 

An adaptable environment was required that would meet current and future pedagogical needs of the anticipated 460 school roll. With a stunning setting between Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, Babbage wanted an architectural form that responded to and was fully integrated with the landscape.
