Our Vision & Values

Our Vision / Whakatauki:

At Pigeon Mountain School, we believe that education is more than just learning facts—it's about nurturing the whole person.

Our vision is to create a caring, supportive environment where every child feels valued, inspired, and empowered to achieve their best. We embrace the spirit of mātauranga o te ngākau—knowledge from the heart—guiding our community to grow with kindness, respect, and a love for learning.
