One Tree Hill College has a very special reputation within the New Zealand education system as a school that meets the needs of its students. High standards of academic performance are achieved and the full variety of college life is enjoyed. Students are encouraged to develop as self-motivated, mature, young people who are being prepared to contribute to society as respectful, caring citizens.
The College was opened in 1955 and we are proud to have provided over 60 years of quality secondary education in our community. We are a well established school with brand new, modern facilities.

A full range of academic courses are offered through to NCEA Level 3. Our Whānau based pastoral care programme ensures that every student is cared for in a sensitive and positive environment.
The College insists on high standards of behaviour and discipline. Anti-social behaviour is not tolerated, and this creates a very positive and safe learning environment. The students wear uniform at all levels and the expectation is that it is worn well and with pride. The teaching staff are very committed to the students in their care. We focus on establishing a partnership between the student, the teacher and the family to ensure that, together, the most effective learning takes place. The staff are there to ensure that the student's potential is achieved and that their expectations are high. Staff take an active part in the various wider aspects of college life so that there are opportunities for students to follow their interests.

We are involved in the various cultural festivals and have our own cultural celebrations. Students learn to work with others in pursuit of learning and understanding. We are a college where students feel an identity and a sense of belonging.
The College has an extensive wireless computer network and the students have access to the very latest in educational and productivity software. There is also a superb art collection which enhances the college environment.
