The school aims to produce confident, tolerant, connected, life-long learners who are actively involved in a balanced lifestyle. We encourage the growth of dispositions whereby students will be able to work well in teams, effectively manage a wide range of technological tools and manage themselves within an increasingly complex world. We encourage situations that will allow our students grow their ability to have mature conversations and feel equally comfortable, mixing, integrating and socialising with those who are younger or older than themselves or who are from other cultures or who have different world views.
Our ambition is for our students to aspire to be the very best of themselves and to see the possibilities for their future self.
We very much look forward to your being part of our school community.

WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL
Kia ora tatou katoa,
Morrinsville College is a state co-educational rural secondary school located in the heart of the Waikato, which has approximately 730 students. It serves the town of Morrinsville and the surrounding Piako district which is largely an intensive dairy farming community. The college is an integral part of the community and receives strong support from it. Many of our students will have the opportunity to work alongside employers from within our community as part of their academic programmes as we integrate academic and hands-on learning. “Working together to provide a quality education in a caring environment” sums up our school vision.
Morrinsville College offers a broad curriculum and subject choice to meet the needs of our diverse range of students. Within this curriculum our students are academically challenged in a context of personalised learner-centred education. Every effort is made to promote a love for learning and positive attitudes about success, so that our students can move successfully into life beyond school. Morrinsville College is growing a school culture that is inclusive and provides our students with a chance to be part of something that they feel they truly belong to and be proud to identify with well after they have left.
