Principals Message

Welcome, Kia Ora Koutou, Talofa Lava, Namaste, Nee Hao, Mangwanani

As the Principal of Lakeview School I would like to welcome you to our website. Lakeview School is a new school, brought about by the merger of three Masterton Schools.  We have approximately 450 to 500 students attending our school.  50% of students come from European descent, 48% of our students come from Maori descent and the remainder come from other cultures and backgrounds.  We are proud of our diversity and believe that this is one of our strengths.  Our aim is to build on this in the years to come.

We are in a fortunate position that most schools never have the chance to experience.  Staff, Parents, Caregivers and Students are working together to create our shared future and build new exciting traditions that will last a lifetime!

We are also proud of the magnificent Henley Lake that borders our grounds.  To us this is part of our backyard and we want to continue to develop our use of this wonderful resource.

Our staff are committed, focused and have a high degree of professionalism. The individual identification of student needs and the desire to realise their full potential can be demonstrated in an ever increasing range of learning experiences provided by teachers.

We are committed to building a strong, open and supportive school that welcomes all pupils, parents and friends and helps students reach their full potential.

Please contact me if you any queries or would like to discuss your child’s enrolment at Lakeview School.
