Haere mai ki Te Puna Wai O Waipapa! Welcome to Hagley’s Senior College. We want you to feel excited about Hagley. We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different? We have a culture like no other. No-one wears a uniform and everyone’s on a firstname basis. But that’s just for starters. Students choose Hagley because they’re treated with respect, accepted for who they are as individuals. Our students know that it’s cool to be different and they celebrate that. Our students choose Hagley because of the huge range of opportunities and unique programmes on offer. In our prospectus, you’ll discover that we’re no ordinary secondary school. You can design your own programme from the different and diverse subjects available, or choose one of our pre-professional pathways programmes or specialist courses to take the step into tertiary study or your career pathway. Our students aim high and do well. We believe there is no single stereotype for success. At Hagley, being successful comes in many shapes and forms. We’re designated by the Ministry of Education as a special character school for learners of all ages across our region. Our College has over 2,000 students, 85% of whom are aged over 16. We’re a highperforming school as acknowledged by our most recent external government review. We live by our vision statement: lifelong learning that’s accessible to all. That’s what Hagley can be for you – a place that opens up opportunities that are right for you. We want you to feel excited about coming here. We look forward to you being part of our Senior College in 2022.
Ka puāwai te koru, ka puāwai te tangata. As the koru opens, so too does the person.
