Rangiora New Life School

The vision for a Christian school in Rangiora was born out of a desire by families to have their children taught by Christian teachers in a school that promoted Christian values and was based upon a curriculum providing a broad and consistent Christian worldview. The school was established in 1979 as a private primary school, becoming a state integrated Area School for Years 1-13 in 1994. This change allowed attendance dues to drop significantly and staff members to be paid as state school employees, while the school is still able to retain its unique Christian character. Rangiora New Life is the only state integrated school of Christian character offering a comprehensive education to pupils at Years 1 to 13 in the South Island outside of Christchurch city and is a member school of the New Zealand Association for Christian Schools (NZACS).
