Welcome to Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate
Junior School
Nau mai, haere mai ki te Kura Tuatahi o Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate!
At Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Junior School, we are proud to nurture the youngest learners in our vibrant and diverse community. Located in the heart of Ōtara, Tāmaki Makaurau, our kura is a place where tamariki begin their lifelong journey of learning, discovery, and personal growth.
Our school is named after Sir Edmund Hillary, a true New Zealand hero whose values of courage, perseverance, humility, and service to others inspire everything we do. Just as he climbed great mountains, we encourage our students to aim high, believe in themselves, and overcome challenges with resilience and determination.
We cater to students from Year 0 to Year 6, providing a supportive, inclusive, and culturally rich learning environment. Our passionate kaiako (teachers) are committed to creating engaging, hands-on learning experiences that build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and social skills, while celebrating the unique identity of each child.
At the Junior School, whanaungatanga (relationships) are central to who we are. We value strong partnerships with our whānau, community, and the wider Collegiate (Middle and Senior Schools), working together to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Whether you’re a new parent, a prospective whānau, or a returning member of our community, we welcome you with open arms.
Towards far horizons.
Our main source of contact with our families is through ClassDojo.
Your child’s teacher will share a link with you to access this. If you need support connecting to ClassDojo, please contact your class teacher or Junior School Admin.
