"learners experience an inclusive and positive school learning climate that promotes equitable and excellent outcomes and high levels of academic achievement" (ERO Report)

Glendowie College is an outstanding high school for Year 9 to 13 students. We offer amazing educational and co-curricular opportunities within a strong pastoral support structure.

Our aim is to provide a stimulating, challenging learning environment that builds understanding and skills to prepare learners not only for NCEA and Scholarship but for life and study beyond school.

Students participate in an extensive range of arts and cultural activities at the school. Involvement in music, art, dance, drama, kapa haka, and much more underpins a culture of creativity, innovation and excellence.

Glendowie College has established a reputation for sporting excellence. Students have enjoyed success at the highest level and many have gone on to represent their country after leaving the College.

Students' learning, health and wellbeing are supported by our unique EnRICH student wellbeing programme, excellent pastoral care network and high-quality student services.

We are part of a highly engaged and involved community. We believe that students appreciate the world more when they are committed to and involved in making it better.
