About Our School
Outdoor Education
Hokitika’s expansive and dramatic environment is the perfect adventure playground for our vast and exciting outdoor education programme. Its practical course designed to equip students with real-world experience is bolstered by passionate, fully trained and qualified instructors. There’s something for everyone from the beginner to the adrenaline chaser. You’ll love the adventure!
The Amazing West Coast
Hokitika is surrounded by the majestic mountains of the Southern Alps, lush rainforests, untamed rivers and a wild unspoilt coastline beach. With its relaxed and friendly environment, vibrant art and crafts community and strong history in Pounamu coupled with the many popular bushwalks, lakes and outdoor attractions, Westland is the perfect place to explore and unwind.
Kaupapa Māori
The mana whenua iwi of the Westland region imbues the community and the school with the knowledge and pathways to a sense of respectful belonging within the community that has formed on their whenua (lands) awa (rivers) moana (seas) and with their iwi (peoples). We acknowledge as a school the privilege we have as we partner with Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae and Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio, our mana.
