List of schools in the Gisborne Region

This is a list article of schools located in the Gisborne region of New Zealand.

School uniform is now fast becoming the norm at primary school and pre-school. Before 2000, only Intermediate and High School students had school uniform.

Kura Kaupapa Māori schools are schools for children aged 3–14 who learn fully in the Māori language. This starts at Kohanga Reo which is the Māori equivalent of kindergarten.

Not included, for obvious reasons, are proposed schools such as Waikirikiri High School. The area where it was supposed to be built is now a sports field/park (Waikirikiri Reserve).

The rolls given here are those provided by the Ministry of Education, based on figures from July 2008.[1]
