At Shannon School, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of learning experiences for all our students. These experiences are built on the foundational skills of reading, writing, and mathematics.

Reading, writing, and mathematics are taught daily, allowing us to provide a rich and varied curriculum. These key skills are also integrated across all subject areas.

Shannon is fortunate to have a wealth of learning spaces and resources. Our hubs cater to team, group, and individual learning. We have:

• An immersion Māori space (Te Whare Kākano)

• A music room (Te Ruma Puoro)

• A technology kitchen (Te Kāuta Manaaki)

• A woodwork room (Te Ruma Mahi Rākau)

• Heated swimming pools

• Chickens, gardens, and orchards

• Basketball courts and large sports fields

Our whenua (land), awa (river), maunga (mountains), and marae (Poutū) play a significant role in our learning. With two school vans, we can incorporate these opportunities into everyday lessons.

Each year, our Year 6–8 students attend camps, and we also hold noho stays at school or Poutū Marae.

As an Enviroschool, sustainability is a key part of our learning. Our students actively recycle, compost, and maintain a worm farm.

Our virtues and values program is woven into all aspects of learning. With a focus on personalized learning, we ensure that all our tamariki can thrive and develop to their fullest potential.
