Te
Awamutu College is a State co-educational secondary school, located
in the thriving rural town of Te Awamutu. Surrounded by extensive
grounds, the College has developed over sixty five years into a
beautiful complex of classrooms, marae and specialist facilities.
Situated at the western end of the main street of the town, it allows
easy access to the community.
The
College catchment area extends to rural areas up to 50 kilometres
from the town and a large percentage of the students travel to school
by bus. As the only secondary school in the town, Te Awamutu College
aims to provide a range of learning experiences to meet the needs
of all students.
We
are proud of Te Awamutu College and the students who choose to make
this their school. Our school motto, Kia Kaha (Ever be strong),
provides a clear message to students in the classroom, on the playing
field and in life after leaving school.
