Upper Hutt College
Upper Hutt College has been a successful part of this community for over 50 years. We are a school with a strong tradition of excellence in academic achievement, and of excellence in sport, cultural activities and the performing arts.
We have high academic expectations of our students and encourage them to take responsibility for their own learning, through the setting and reviewing of learning goals and the tracking of their own achievement. At the junior level, co-operative and independent learning activities, learning assistance and programmes for gifted and talented students are provided. At the senior level, a diverse range of curriculum opportunities offer academic and vocational options, and career and tertiary educational guidance assist our students in developing future pathways beyond school.
