Gisborne Central School

Established in 1872, Gisborne Central School has been a cornerstone of education in Whataupoko, evolving with our community while honouring our rich heritage. From our early days when the school was a temporary museum of Māori artefacts - to today's vibrant, inclusive environment, we've always placed our tamariki at the heart of all we do. Guided by our values of manaakitanga, mōhiotanga, whanaungatanga, and māiatanga, we continue to foster a nurturing space where every child is known, supported, and inspired to thrive. The narrative connection to our school is seen as our tamariki beginning their life and learning journey like the Waiteata stream as small and gently finding their way into life, then as they develop the skills they begin to grow and become a part of a larger story in our region. Once equipped with the necessary skills and dispositions, they are led to the ocean to access the world. It's a story of our school developing the child locally to take on the world. Also linking to our new vision of lifelong learners' or 'leamer for life'.
