Netherby School is a contributing primary school (Years 1-6) located in the north-west of Ashburton, Mid Canterbury. The school has six composite classrooms, with the school roll ranging between 110-130. Our teachers are committed to meeting individual needs of the children and students' benefit from high quality teaching. Diversity is valued and celebrated at Netherby School, which can be seen throughout the classrooms and in the Puawaitanga Kapahaka group.
We are a 'Duffy Books in Homes' school; a programme which promotes reading through providing a minimum of 5 free books to all children throughout the year. The programme also includes the use of role models, who talk to the children about their achievements, goals and make a connection between success and reading.
Netherby's six teacher school is small enough to encourage a family-type atmosphere, yet big enough to provide the same educational opportunities as a large school. We hope you enjoy our website and please do contact us if you require anymore information.
