Welcome to the new Keith Street School Website. Stay tuned for more content and updates.
Opened in 1887, Keith Street School has a rich history of providing high quality education in central Whanganui.
We celebrate our strong links to our maunga—Mount Ruapehu, our awa—the mighty Whanganui River and our local whenua and surrounds.
We are proud to provide quality education for Year 0-6 learners
We are the only primary school situated near the Whanganui town centre and the beautiful Whanganui Awa.
Our school is beautifully maintained and has a warm, inclusive and welcoming environment.
In partnership with whānau and our local community, we are committed to developing learning in the context of our bicultural heritage.
We celebrate diversity and are passionate about every learner reaching their potential.
