The school aims to
fully prepare students for their future outside of school
as independent, optimistic and responsible people.
School
overview
The school was opened in
1957 in response to the community need for a local high
school. It proudly celebrated its 50th Jubilee in 2007.
It serves the families which live in Inglewood and the
surrounding rural community.
The college is a state,
co-educational secondary school for students in years
9 to 13. We also provide Technology education to year
7 and 8 students from local primary schools. Some
students travel from outside this area, for which there
are regular bus services.
Part of the special character
of this school is its connection with the community.
There is a large base of support from parents, community
people and local businesses, all who support student
activities in many ways.
A broad curriculum is offered
which covers all learning areas of the National Curriculum:
English and Te Reo International Languages Mathematics
Science Technology Social Sciences The Arts Health and
Physical Education Students are prepared for national
qualifications at all senior levels.
The Learning Support Centre
offers Aassistance to students who have special learning
needs.

Opportunities for gifted
and talented students are offered through curriculum
and co-curriculum programmes.
Students in year 9 study
a full range of subjects. As they move through the school
they are able to specialise in the subjects of their
choice (see insert for courses at each level).
Some subjects at the senior
level include work experience components and students
may choose introductory tertiary courses in a range
of areas. STAR and Gateway programmes operate through
the school.
