Musselburgh School: Where Learning Thrives

Musselburgh School is a welcoming and inclusive primary school nestled in Dunedin, New Zealand, serving students from Years 1-6. We foster a nurturing environment where tamariki (children) can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

A Strong Sense of Community:

At Musselburgh, whanaungatanga (building relationships) is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in fostering a strong sense of community – a place where students feel safe, respected, and supported by their teachers, whānau (family), and peers. Our core values of respect, resilience, a love of learning, friendliness, and understanding are central to creating a positive and inclusive learning environment.

A Passion for Learning:

We offer a stimulating and diverse curriculum that ignites a passion for learning. This includes a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Maths), catering to various learning styles. We provide a variety of special needs programs to ensure all students are supported and challenged. Exciting initiatives like Enviroschools, choir, and Marimba band further enrich the learning experience. We also believe in the power of play-based learning, providing ample opportunities for exploration and discovery.

A Legacy of Excellence:

Musselburgh School boasts a rich history, serving the Dunedin community since 1905. We carry on that legacy of excellence, constantly adapting and evolving to meet the needs of our students.
