Welcome to Pareawa Banks Avenue School

Kia ora and welcome to Pareawa Banks Avenue School. We are a brand new school in the Richmond / Shirley community. We cater for children from New Entrants to Year 6. Every learner and staff member at Pareawa Banks Avenue is nurtured, inspired, encouraged and challenged to live and learn with H.E.A.R.T.
We believe our children are the school’s most valuable resource and we're privileged to have a supportive community who help us to be the best we can be.
Our PTA meets monthly and new members are always welcome. Our Board meetings are open to the public and if being a Board member appeals to you, pop in and see what it's about.
On this website you’ll find information on how our school works, what we believe in, and what's coming up. You will see the importance of our HEART values in guiding our journey and get a feel for who we are.
