proud of WHo WE ARE, what we know, and what we can achieve

At Pinehurst we aspire to help every student reach their full potential — academically, personally, and socially — in a safe and supportive environment. Our students are curious, confident, and capable learners, guided by passionate teachers who know how to bring out the best in each individual.

We work closely with families to nurture respectful, motivated young people who aim high — in the classroom, on the stage, on the sports field, and beyond.

Our school is known for academic excellence, but that’s only part of the story. We’re just as proud of the values we live by every day:

  • Respect for Self
  • Respect for Others
  • Excellence

These values shape how we learn, lead, and contribute — helping our students grow into independent, responsible people who are ready to thrive in a global world.

The Pinehurst Triangle

This the cultural foundation of our school, a simple but powerful idea that shapes how we work together as a community.

The student is always at the top, supported on each side by two equal partners: family and school. Every decision we make is driven by the shared goal of helping our students thrive.

This three-way partnership encourages open communication, mutual respect and a strong sense of belonging. From our family conferences to our everyday interactions, the Triangle brings our values to life and creates our warm, connected culture.

Respect For Self

Understanding and valuing who we are as individuals builds the foundation for confidence, integrity, and resilience. At Pinehurst, we encourage every learner to take pride in their identity, embrace personal growth, and develop the strength of character to navigate life’s challenges with purpose.
Respect for others

Respect For Others

We believe that every person brings unique perspectives and strengths to our community. By recognising and valuing one another, we foster empathy, celebrate diversity, and create a culture where collaboration and mutual respect help us grow together.

Excellence

Excellence is not just about outcomes—it’s about effort, attitude, and continuous improvement. We strive to give our best in every situation, challenging ourselves to go beyond expectations and take pride in what we achieve, both individually and collectively.
