From the Principal

Welcome to our College | nau mai ki ta maatau kaareti

Huanui College was established in 2010 as an independent, co-educational Year 7 -13 school and is the only independent Year 7 – 13 College in the Whangārei area. The school is located in the countryside on the way to the world-renowned Tutukaka coast.

Our College offers rigorous academic programmes based on the Cambridge International Curriculum. We encourage healthy competition, diligence and the pursuit of personal excellence. Our motto ‘vincit qui se vincit’ (He conquers who conquers himself) reinforces this and we pride ourselves in providing a safe and nurturing environment where students are taught in small classes and are treated as individuals.

As well as the academic focus, students at Huanui College are strongly encouraged to involve themselves in the many sports and cultural opportunities offered. Huanui College is a proud Whangārei and Northland school and students are encouraged to volunteer at community events and offer their time at other charitable organisations.

Our dedicated teaching staff are the most valued resource of the school. Our specialist teachers enable our students to produce work to the highest possible standards. Huanui College teachers pride themselves on taking time to know their students well and value their partnership with parents and caregivers.

Our most important goal is to raise the expectations of every student at Huanui College and to help each student reach their true potential. This will then enable them to leave Huanui College with many opportunities available to them and become outstanding citizens and contributors to society.
