About Us

We are a full Primary School situated on the Otago Harbour. Our unique environment right by the waters edge enhances our aquatics programme with boating a huge feature.


Port Chalmers School offers a wide range of innovative programmes helping children become successful learners.
The roll of approximately 150 students, from new entrant to year 8, makes for a relaxed and friendly learning environment.
