Grounds and buildings

Ridgway is a well-resourced school with a well-stocked library and a selection of electronic devices available for student use.

Our children have a variety of playing areas including a sandpit, netball court, a large playing field and an adventure playground, as well as various other smaller spaces.

2020 is the beginning of our buildings and grounds transformation -link to the building diary.

Currently the school buildings are divided into three areas:

the school administration block, library and Rooms 1-5 for our junior students
the 'Big Space' and Rooms 6 - 8 for our middle school students, and
Rooms 9 & 10 for our senior students.

Ridway field looking south Next to Room 10 is our school garden where our sustainability group has been learning about planting and maintaining - and harvesting!

Below the school is a playing field maintained by Wellington City Council where many of the school's sporting activities (and weekend sporting fixtures) are held.
