Kia ora - Kumasta - Hello

Nau mai haere mai, and welcome to Edendale Primary School, Southland, New Zealand.  

We are the school 'Where Our Dreams Begin!' and have been serving our community's educational needs since 1875. 

We are a six-teacher school, and the numbers range from 120 to 140.  

World record-breaker Burt Munro, made famous in the movie The Fastest Indian, was a pupil of our school.  

All-Black Damian McKenzie and his brother Martin McKenzie attended Edendale Primary School.   Intensive Care Nurse Jenny McGee, who nursed UK Prime Minister Boris Johnston back to health after a Covid-19 scare, attended Edendale Primary School.  Jean McKenzie, New Zealand's first female diplomat was a pupil of our school.

As a contributing school, we celebrate our students achieving leadership and academic success in their secondary school years.

We love seeing our students go on to make their dreams a reality, becoming confident, connected, actively involved, and lifelong learners in the schools and careers they choose.
