Principal's Welcome

Kia ora, Ni Hao and Welcome

Sunnyhills School caters for a diverse school community welcoming enrolments of students from Years 0-6. We are a co-educational, contributing state school located in Sunnyhills, Auckland near the beautiful Tāmaki River and Ōhuiarangi/Pigeon Mountain. Our local iwi is Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki.

Sunnyhills School embodies the principles of “Learning for Life”. The students and staff are happy to come to school: happy to learn and happy to teach. We are proud of the open and positive relationships we build with students, teachers, parents and the wider community.

Our staff members are valued – we see them as our greatest asset – and the children of our learning community come first in our list of priorities.

The potential to learn excites us! Learning is authentic and personalised. Learners are confident and informed and are able to articulate clearly, “keeping the learning loud”. Students know the what, the why and the next steps in the journey. We are prepared to take risks and to persevere, all the while building resilience.

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about Sunnyhills School. We look forward to welcoming you to our amazing school.
