Lake Brunner School and Community

Lake Brunner School is situated in the township of Moana, which is located​
30 kilometres northeast of Greymouth.  Moana overlooks the picturesque Lake Brunner and impressive mountains of the Southern Alps.

Lake Brunner School is a decile 6, co educational, state school, catering for years 1 to 8.  The new Lake Brunner School (2005) is a merger of Lake Brunner School, Rotomanu School and Otira children who had previously attended Arthur’s Pass School. 

The school buildings have been developed and refurbished providing an excellent learning and working environment. The school grounds are spacious with spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains.  The playground is used by the community, especially in the holiday periods.

 

Our vision is to develop successful students.​
