Our Principal

Te Kura o Tawatawa - Ridgway School Principal - Sarah Patterson

Master of Education (Educational Leadership)  -  Victoria University.     Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy) - University of Otago.    Post Graduate Diploma of Education - Victoria University,  

It is an honour and a priviledge to lead the coolest little school in Wellington.  I've been here since 2016 and was more than delighted to become Principal at the start of 2024. 

We have such a great community at our school, amazing facilities and grounds and a wonderfully eclectic and talented staff.  It's an epic place to be and a wonderful school to be a part of! 

Originally from Auckland, I went to university in Dunedin and then spent a few good years overseas in Australia and the UK before coming to Wellington.  I've lived here since 2004 and am now proud to call myself a Wellingtonian. 

You're welcome to book in a time to come for a chat and hear more about our fabulous school. I look forward to meeting you.
