Otahuhu College

Otahuhu College values academic study and we expect all our students to excel, but our view of education celebrates the creative, sporting and cultural and the intellectual.

As students progress through our College they thrive on the opportunities available to them. No one activity dominates and students find achievement and friendship in many different ways. Taking up some of the many opportunities available is a key part of being a student at Otahuhu College.

There are personal successes to be gained at many levels. Some students will draw as much satisfaction from participation in House events, for example, as others do in our premier College teams. Taking part in the many activities and the challenges they present offers great satisfaction in itself, and by pushing to excel, students develop values and character which helps them and our community.

The most important goal each and every day, each and every class, is the quality of teaching and learning. Our students—your children —deserve the very best education. It is our responsibility as teachers to make sure that we ensure that your child graduates from Otahuhu College with the same, if not better, opportunities and choices as any other student in the country.

Our Aim is to provide excellent classroom teaching, personalised learning and the high expectations your children need to have the best possible future.

We want the best for your child. We want to help them reach their full potential and achieve all that they can possibly achieve. We encourage you to talk to us, to make sure that we are providing the education that your son or daughter deserves.

At Otahuhu College we welcome relationships with parents and realise how important parental and community involvement is in helping your child achieve at the levels they are capable of and the levels that you expect.
