Discovery 1 is a special character, state funded primary school based in the heart of the Christchurch Central Business District.

It is an innovative learning community where all key stake holders (children, parents & staff) take an active part in the creation  of a child’s learning journey.

The school is open for New Entrants to Year 8 children.

We want to work with children who have a love of learning, who have the capacity for full participation in all of our programs as self directing, autonomous members of our community.

The children who are most successful at Discovery 1 are those who have a full commitment and involvement from their families, those who are able to dialogue about their passions and their learning needs, those who are motivated and collaborative, those that are risk takers.

The learning journey of a child at Discovery 1 is the responsibility of the child, the family and the school.

If you believe that your child and your family would make the most of being part of our amazing learning community, please contact Daniel Birch our Director.
