ABOUT​

​MŌ MĀTAU
As a school, we recognise the importance of childhood. Our large, garden-like campus is a happy and safe environment where children have the freedom to enjoy being children - exploring and playing in the bush, riding bikes and scooters on wheel days, curling up with a good book in the Book Nook, kicking a ball on the big field or just following their imagination. Exploration, Play and Inquiry are at the centre of how we learn.

History

Previously known as Chartwell School, our school opened in 1970 to serve the two young suburbs of Chartwell and Crofton Downs, between Ngaio and Wadestown.
​In 2008, the school changed its name to Crofton Downs Primary School to better reflect its surrounding community, which has become more widely known as Crofton Downs.
