Welcome to Aberfeldy School

Learning is a journey in which all students, staff and whanau ride our WAKA through life and land at success. With perseverance and positive attitudes we can all take on new challenges and experiences.

Welcome to Aberfeldy School

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Aberfeldy Primary School in Wanganui – Te kura o Aberfeldy. Our school is set in a beautiful country environment where we are lucky to have a bronze enviro school award.

Aberfeldy school is a small, rural school situated in a picturesque valley on the Parapara Highway 25 minutes from Wanganui. Our school is a full primary, catering for students from year 1 to year 8. We have students from both north and south of the school and attract a number of students from Wanganui itself. We have a school bus servicing Wanganui and areas around the school making it easier for students to get to and from school.

Aberfeldy school is a special place because we are like an extended family – whanau. We all care about each other and encourage older students to work with and look after our little ones.
