Welcome to Te Pou Tī Kōuka | Springfield School.
Nestled at the foothills of the Southern Alps, Springfield School is staffed for 2026 with 3 classrooms - Year 1-2, 2-3 and 4-6. Our teaching staff are supported by a full time principal, part time teacher aide and part time office administrator. The staff are supported by a committed School Board and an active PTA to ensure the school is well equipped, resourced and funded. Springfield School is a focal point within the community and our roll usually sits between the high 30s - mid 40s.
Our current projects consist of putting some love into our school gardens and completing our front entrance values posts.
