Kia ora and thank you for your interest in our school.
Kaiapoi Borough School was the first school in Kaiapoi, established in 1873. We have a long history of providing great learning opportunities for students in year 0 to year 8. Our proximity to the river is unique and our grounds are extensive with some stunning mature trees.
We are a community focussed school, working hard to partner with whanau to develop life long learners. Our core values: Innovation, Community, Integrity and Respect are an integral part of who we are and how we do things.
It is a privilege to lead Kaiapoi Borough School. We have wonderful students and families, a great staff and strong links with the local community. We welcome the chance to show you around to see what we are doing.

ABC Kaiapoi is a gorgeous purpose built childcare centre set against the stunning rural backdrop of Kaiapoi. We are a large centre and have ample room for your child to play in a safe and nurturing environment where learning is driven by children’s interests.
Our caring and qualified teachers will nurture and extend your child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. We have loads of excellent age-specific resources to help your child learn and develop to their full potential. We believe that to effectively guide children into school, both teachers and parents/whānau need to be active participants in the journey. Because of this, we have an Open Door Policy, where we welcome family contributions at any time.
We understand that it can be quite stressful leaving your child in our care for the first time and know that it is important for you to be happy when leaving your children. Therefore we encourage you and your child to visit the centre as many times as you like, until you’re both comfortable.
Visiting the centre gives you the chance to see our teachers working with the children and in turn this is how they will interact with your child. You don’t need to book for a visit, simply drop by or call us for more information.
What makes us different:
- We have three large playgrounds for children to explore and discover, which are currently being re modelled to include new natural play areas.
- We have five large classrooms – providing more than required space to extend children’s learning. Which include a separate room for our under ones.
- Our under two bedroom has full stand-alone cots with a home away from home feel.
- Low teacher to child ratios
- Qualified, passionate and experienced staff
- Bright, clean and well-resourced centre
