Fenwick Primary School is a U5 contributing school situated on the South Hill in Oamaru, close to two kindergartens and to the central business and historic areas. We have a sound financial base, are well resourced and have developed a special and caring culture. Our quality teachers and programmes ensure high quality education is delivered in a safe and supportive environment.

The Board of Trustees, with the community, has developed a Charter, revised policies and procedures as well as forming a strategic plan to lead developments over the next three years.

Our school roll includes 12% Maori pupils, and 12% Pasifika. The socio-economic make-up is mixed with a school decile ranking of 6. Community population and Roll numbers are growing, and this should continue. Parents are very positive and supportive of programmes and events.

The Home & School Association is active in fundraising, supporting School Programmes, donating Resources and is a vital link between teachers and parents.

Our school and community swimming pool has a new heat pump and operates from November to March.

Our community hall was opened in June 2006. The OSCAR programme, operates from the hall before and after school as well as providing holiday programmes.

The School environment, of which we are very proud, is attractive both for learning and play.
