Inside Avianto Estate Private School
Who We Are

Our Story

Avianto Estate Private School began with a simple belief: that every child learns best when they feel safe, seen and celebrated. What started as a small, close-knit community has grown into a school that spans pre-school through primary, without ever losing the warmth it was built on.

We pair a CAPS-enriched academic foundation with the space for children to be curious, creative and kind. Here, teachers know your child by name, families are part of the journey, and learning stretches well beyond the classroom walls.

Meet Our Principal

Mark Moore is the Principal of Avianto Estate Private School and has been in education for more than 30 years. He is married to Dane and they have three children, Luke, Benjamin and Hannah. He is passionate about children and their development, creating an environment for each child to reach their full potential through making mistakes and learning from them. Mark has been the head of a school for more than 10 years, and in that time realised that "only if I know each child's name and their dreams, can I expect my staff to do the same." Avianto Estate Private School is a special place where these dreams can become a reality.

Our Mission

To nurture confident, curious and kind young people, giving every child the space, support and belief they need to become the best possible version of themselves.

We do this through caring teaching, meaningful play, and a curriculum that builds strong foundations while leaving room for each child's individuality to shine.
