Our School


Woodstock
is nestled in a picturesque green environment and is arguably one of the most scenic schools of Hamilton. We are a busy and contented school with our own character to which parents and children closely identify.

 

The first pupils enrolled in September 1954 and after some deliberation by the local householders the name 'Woodstock' was chosen. A swimming pool, Library, and School hall were later additions to enhance the school facilities. In more recent years, the library has been extended, a senior and junior Adventure Playground and a computer suite added. The school has always been strongly supported by the community and interest is always evident in the activities of the programme.

 

Woodstock is a progressive school offering a comprehensive education for its pupils.

We are currently developing an Inquiry Learning approach as part of our school curriculum delivery. The addition of Conductive Education facilities for both pre-school and school-aged physically disabled pupils has been developed over the last four years. This is the first school in New Zealand to have both facilities on-site in a general state school. The school currently has 16 classrooms catering for approximately 400+ pupils. This includes a satellite class from Patricia Avenue Special School for children with intellectual disabilities. The very strong growth of the school over the last number of years has meant that the School has had to operate an enrolment scheme to control numbers of pupils enrolling.

 

As can be seen above, Woodstock can offer children a wide variety of personal experiences.

 


SCHOOL HOURS

Children should not come to school before 8.15 a.m. at which hour official teacher supervision begins.  Children are required to go straight home after being dismissed from school. Parents collecting their children after school are asked to do this by 3.00 p.m. at the latest. Failure to do so results in considerable difficulty and inconvenience for the school and the pupils. The school does not have shortened lunch hours.

 

School begins morning 8.45 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. afternoon 1.10 p.m. to 2.45 p.m.
