OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY

Fairfield Primary School was opened in 1919 with 106 pupils. We are a U5 Decile 1B school situated on Clarkin Road, adjacent to Fairfield
Park. We currently have a staff of 36 which includes a large group of support staff, the administration team and the caretaker.

We are a contributing primary school, with strong links to our local community. The majority of our students continue their education at
Fairfield Intermediate, across the road from the primary school, and then later at Fairfield College.
Our roll as at February 2020 is 352. We are currently experiencing a period of roll growth and recent projections would indicate that we
will end the year with a roll in excess of 390. On the recommendation of the Ministry of Education, the school implemented an Enrolment
Scheme at the beginning of Term 2, 2018.

The school is well resourced and includes 15 classrooms, a small hall, library, swimming pool, administration block, two adventure
playgrounds and large playing fields. We are currently awaiting new roll growth classrooms to accommodate our growing student
population.

Teaching programmes place a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. The Fairfield Learner is at the forefront of everything we do.
Curriculum programmes cater for the learning needs of all our children.

We welcome all learners in our community. We are committed to their engagement in all school activities and to their achievement. We
operate a number of support programmes for children with special needs and special abilities and work closely with a wide range of
external agencies to provide the best possible learning outcomes for all our students.

Our students come from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds, predominantly Maori, Tongan, European, Samoan and Asian. We treat all
our children as individuals, each with their own strengths and needs. Children are encouraged to respect and learn about their own
culture and the cultures of others.

Our school has a close liaison with Fairfield Kindergarten, with the majority of kindergarten children enrolling at Fairfield Primary.
We are also delighted to support the development of a variety of initiatives within our Tongan community.
