Pītau-Allenvale School provides specialist education for ORS-funded students aged 5–21 in the northwest of Christchurch. We operate across 5 sites including our base school in Belfast, satellite classrooms at Ashgrove School in Rangiora (Pītau Raki) and at a combined campus with Tuia Burnside Primary and Wairarapa Cobham Intermediate (Pītau Uru). Additionally, we have three classes at the former Kendal School in Burnside (Pītau Rapa), and are a part of the Tētēkura Transition Education Centre in Philipstown.
