Welcome!

Hi. My name is Murray Powell and I'm proud to be leader of our professional and friendly team at Shannon School.

If you're considering us as a school for your child, please drop by, email me at principal@shannon.school.nz or phone 06 3627866

We are happy to share our amazing learning environment and exciting learning journey.  Just call the office to book a time or just call into the office and someone will show you around.

Shannon is an inclusive, multicultural school where te ao Māori is highly valued.  It offers students a distinctive curriculum enriched by cultural, sporting and performing arts experiences.  Staff develop positive partnerships with whānau and the community to support student's learning.  Leaders collaboratively target raising student achievement and identify areas for improvement.

Learning

Shannon Community

We're proud of our Learning in the Cloud Environment at Shannon School. Teachers offer each child the best of traditional learning and online activities and resources.

We are encouraging all our Year 5 to 8 students to own their own Chromebook for 2017.  We are also opening up the optional purchase of iPads for Years 1 to 4 students.  These can be purchased through the Te Hinaki (Horowhenua) Trust.

We are the local community school for Year 1 to 8 children with a Rumaki Māori Immersion Class from Year 1 to 8.

There is a separate Preschool on our site.  Also in Shannon we have a Kōhanga Reo and Playcentre. Check our 'Info' page for more.

We're not the largest primary school in the country, but we're definitely in the big league as far as community spirit goes!

We are involved in many community projects. Check out our photo gallery!
