Orewa College offers a high quality, relational, future-focused education, which is strongly supported by traditional values. Our dedicated staff embody the values of Manaaki, fostering a culture of care and respect among our students. Our values programme, Manaaki Orewa, is incorporated in all aspects of school life, “respect for self, others and the environment”.

Orewa College is a large school that offers an intimate atmosphere, of warmth, family-like qualities of a small school. Our Middle-School (Year 7 and Year 8) serves as a seamless, unique transition into the Senior-School, ensuring continuity and care.

Central to Orewa College is the House System, a longstanding tradition that fosters camaraderie and leadership, linking all students throughout Year 7 to Year 13. Through house events and friendly competition, we use the House System as a means to strengthen a sense of pride and belonging within our school.

It is an absolute privilege and honour to be the (5th) principal of Orewa College. As an alumni of this school, a member of this community, and ‘he uri o tēnei whenua’, I take great pride and responsibility in seeking to provide outstanding opportunities for our rangatahi (youth).

We are proud of our students and staff, and we warmly welcome parents and caregivers to become part of our school community. Your involvement is valued, and we encourage you to reach out to the school if you have any concerns or queries regarding your child's education.
