About Our School
Our community has a strong emphasis on providing an environment which is positive, inclusive, safe and welcoming with a rural focus. The staff consists of a principal, 8 classroom teachers, 1 specialist teacher and a SLS Reading Recovery Teacher. Our support staff includes 4 teacher aides, an office administrator, an executive officer, 2 itinerant music teachers and a grounds person. Longbeach School has 6 well resourced classrooms and a superb library, set in park like grounds with established trees. Also bordering the school grounds is the Willowby Reserve. The local Playcentre is on site ensuring a smooth transition from preschool learning to school.
Longbeach School is a full rural primary school, catering for New Entrants to Year 8 pupils, situated 12km SE of Ashburton, providing a well balanced curriculum, meeting the social, emotional, academic and physical needs of our students. It primarily serves the district that was “Longbeach” at the time of the settlement of Canterbury.
The school is unique in the fact that it emerged in 1999/2000 as a result of three local communities being; Eiffelton, Willowby and Flemington coming together to create our new modern, artistically designed school, known as Longbeach.
