Company offered the school site to the
Education Board. Local residents prepared the site and a single classroom was built, at the cost of 109 pounds, opening on October 1. The roll was 32 pupils and 1 teacher, a Miss Rosanna Brown. With a growing roll, another room was added to the classroom building in 1895. In 1897, a large house was transported from Matakana to the school site as accommodation for the first principal, Mr Julian Brook. The school badge/logo has had a strawberry leaf in it since it first opened, reflecting the role students played as strawberry pickers for local growers. Today, Birkdale Primary has both English and Maori immersion units. The Maori immersion unit,Te Puāwaitanga, was established in 1986. It was the first such unit on the North Shore.The oldest building on the site is Durham Hall, which was originally a classroom built in 1940. It was named in honour of life-long Salisbury Rd resident Glady Durham, a past-pupil of the school, long serving board member, and occasional driver of buses taking Birkdale Primary students to camps or day events. The hall was given historical protection by the North Shore City Council.
