Picton School

Welcome to Picton School, nestled in the heart of Marlborough, a vibrant region blessed with breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Established with a vision to inspire young minds, we are more than just a school - we're a community that nurtures and educates children from Years 1-6, shaping their futures in a warm, inclusive environment. At Picton School, we pride ourselves on our commitment to delivering a comprehensive curriculum aligned with the New Zealand Curriculum, ensuring our students receive a well-rounded education. Our dedicated team of teachers fosters an atmosphere that encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. We understand that every child is unique, and therefore, we tailor our teaching methods to cater to each student's individual needs. Our Learning Support program ensures no child is left behind, while our Values-based program instills in them the essential life skills necessary for success in the 21st century. Beyond academics, we prioritize Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L), ensuring a positive and productive learning environment where students feel safe, respected, and valued. We believe that fostering good behavior is crucial for a child's overall development. In line with our commitment to sustainability, Picton School is proud to be an Enviroschool. This program encourages us to take active steps towards environmental responsibility, instilling in our students a deep respect and love for the natural world. Cultural activities form an integral part of our curriculum. We celebrate the diverse cultures that make up our school community, using these celebrations as opportunities to learn, grow, and appreciate each other's uniqueness. As you walk through our doors, you'll find a family-like atmosphere where children are not just students, but individuals with unique potential, waiting to be discovered. Picton School is more than just an educational institution; it's a place where dreams take flight, friendships bloom, and futures are forged.
