Welcome to Fernridge School. A school that nurtures curiosity.
Nestled under the Tararua Ranges, Fernridge School is a proud, semi-rural school with a rich history spanning over 150 years. At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to our akoranga (learners), he tangata (our people), and tūrangawaewae (our place and community). We take immense pride in nurturing curiosity and keeping our community at the center of our journey.
Tēnei te mihi atu ki a koutou katoa!
Ko Amy Williams ahau. Ko au te Tumuaki o te Kura o Fernridge.
It is an absolute privilege to be the Tumuaki of this wonderful kura, and I am incredibly proud to welcome you to our Fernridge School website and community.
He whānau ako tātou—we are a family of learners. For me, education isn't just about what happens in the classroom; it is about building a supportive space where everyone belongs.
I am proud to be mana whenua, and we are deeply committed to Wairarapatanga at Fernridge School.
I am very fortunate to work alongside an exceptional team of educators who lead with their hearts. Together, we are committed to providing an environment where your tamariki can confidently discover who they are and what they are capable of achieving, both in and outside of the classroom. They are front and centre, of everything we do.
Fernridge is a wonderful school. Whether you are already part of our whānau or joining us soon, we look forward to sharing this learning journey alongside you and your tamariki.
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini.
