Pastoral Care
At Marsden Primary we foster emotional intelligence and resilience in our students and we know that these are important factors in the girls' success.
As new Year 6 parents, Marsden Primary has exceeded our expectations.
The learning environment is so welcoming, positive, inspiring, challenging, supportive and full of personal opportunities. It truly breathes "a love of learning" and the outcomes for our daughter have been fantastic.
Our journey through the Marsden Primary School has been full of joy and encouragement. The atmosphere created by an enthusiastic and dedicated staff drew our girls in and instilled in them confidence and a real love of learning.
We appreciate the Christian values and focus on character as much as the academic excellence Marsden achieves.
This is a great school, you learn loads and by the end of the year you're like I don't want to leave school, it's the best school in the world.
Breagha Beggs, Year 4, 2012
I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated my time at the Primary school during my time at Marsden. I treasure the memories I made there and have many friends I have remained very close with and who joined me in the Upper School.
The supportive and creative environment and teachers prepared me well for my future.
Through the mixture of individual and group learning, broad range of subjects and the small class sizes I was encouraged to try everything, learn my strengths and work on my weaknesses. I felt that the teachers listened to me and facilitated my growth, allowing me to start Year 7 confident that I could achieve anything I put my mind to.
I genuinely enjoyed my time in Marsden Primary, the environment we learnt in and the friends I made.
At Marsden Primary we foster emotional intelligence and resilience in our students and we know that these are important factors in the girls' success.
Our Karori campus is a leafy green oasis that provides an ideal learning environment.
From the minute your child walks in the door, your family becomes part of the Marsden community.
