Our co-educational college has all the advantages of size yet offers all the warmth, encouragement and intimacy of a small school. The facilities and setting are second to none, and the teaching is of the very highest standard.

Our sports stadium has two full-sized gyms, with the main one seating one thousand. All indoor sport can be played. As well, the stadium has two squash courts, a climbing wall, a dance studio, an aerobics room and a weights room. Over 140 sports teams make full use of the stadium and fields and compete with excellent success in Auckland competitions. In any one year we will have a large number of teams competing in premier grade sport.
