Creating Confident Connected Lifelong Learners
Tena koutou e nga whanau | Greetings to all families,
Welcome to RidgeView! I am Cassey Prentice, and it’s a privilege to serve as your new Principal.
Located just 8 km outside of Albany, our semi-rural school thrives amidst beautiful farmland, where many of our tamariki (children) walk, cycle, or scooter to school. This connection to our environment fosters a strong sense of belonging.
We are organised into three learning areas:Wāhi Koru for our junior students, Waahi Pitau for our middle school learners, and Waahi Pakari for our seniors. This structure, combined with a flexible approach, ensures that every child feels like part of our close-knit whānau (family).
Our highly professional kaiako (teachers) are dedicated to high educational standards, nurturing respect, excellence, and positive relationships—values we embody as RidgeView REPs. Our students consistently display great sportsmanship and a willingness to take on challenges.
Sustainability is integral to our learning philosophy. We use our local environment as an outdoor classroom, encouraging active, responsible citizenship.
Thank you for being a vital part of the RidgeView whānau. I look forward to getting to meet you all.
Warm regards,
Cassey Prentice
Principal, RidgeView School
