Avondale College

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. Welcome to Avondale College, one of New Zealand's biggest and best secondary schools!

Our student body of over 2,600 includes 150 foreign fee-paying students who come to our college for the high quality of education that is on offer both in English language and in the broader academic curriculum.

We offer both NCEA and Cambridge pathways and our focus at Avondale College is on academic success for all our students. Our aim is to provide the education best suited to the needs of our students and the community we serve. We stress the importance of an academic curriculum supported by all the important sporting, social and cultural aspects of education. In the last few years Avondale has achieved top academic results, including outstanding Scholarship and Cambridge results. We prepare our students for future opportunities in the tertiary education sector and in all vocational areas including commerce, trade and the professions.

We expect students to develop respect for self, for others, and for property and we applaud such standards and values as honesty and integrity, courtesy, concern for others, perseverance and hard work. Sudents are expected to participate in all areas of school life, and to represent the College in sporting teams and cultural activities.
