Principal's Message

Tēna koutou katoa

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all members of the Ōtorohanga College community.  As Principal, I am extremely proud to lead the College and immensely proud of the students, staff and community who help to make Ōtorohanga College the wonderful College that it is.   

Ōtorohanga College aims to provide a safe, caring and respectful environment in which learners achieve individual excellence so that they can be fully involved in all areas of the College and community.  We have a dedicated, enthusiastic and committed team of teachers and support staff who empower our learners to succeed.

We are extremely proud of our students’ achievement both academically and in sports and cultural activities. There is a huge wealth of talent which the students bring to the College and we want to nurture this talent in each and every student so they can leave the College having achieved their own personal goals.  Our focus is on empowering young people who are fully prepared for life in an ever changing, dynamic society.

As a small rural College we pride ourselves on the care and manaaki we show to our students. Knowledge of each student, individually, means we can tailor the pastoral support for each and every one of our students to ensure they are able to thrive in the College environment. 

We are proud of the Ōtorohanga College community and we look forward to welcoming you to our place so that we can embark on our learning journey together.

Principal

Mrs Lyndsay Kurth
