Muritai School aims to make a difference in children’s lives by developing together through great teaching, focussed learning and caring about each other so 'we can be the best that we can be'. Children, teachers and parents are all involved in both the school and the learning process and share in this fundamental task. 

Muritai School is a special and unique school. The school is in the heart of the village of Eastbourne, a small, seaside community on the edge of Wellington Harbour. Eastbourne is a sought after place to live with its beautiful environment, nestled between the sea and the bush, and close community atmosphere. Our children are keen to make the most of this special place. 

Our aim is to accomplish our vision where we want our children do their best and at the same time develop a love of learning and inquiry, to experience success, and then go on to continue to achieve and succeed in their future education. To do this, our mission is to focus on student achievement, and to enable each child to reach their full potential by seeking to continually focus on improving as a school community. 

Our school was opened in 1897 and has a strong history of success.  It has a proud tradition of being a focal point in the Eastbourne community and has always enjoyed a high level of community support and involvement. 

As a full primary school we cater for children from New Entrants up to Year 8 and we are extremely proud of the safe, caring family atmosphere our full primary status provides.

Muritai School is a wonderful school. We would welcome the opportunity to share our philosophy of learning and achievement with you. 

Andrew Bird,

PRINCIPAL
