Upper Hutt , in theWellington region of New Zealand.The school day runs from 8:40am - 3:15pm, and students attend five one hour classes per day. Form classes are attended for 20mins each day, and are formed by a vertical form system which means students from every year level are placed in the same form class to encourage social growth between year levels throughout the school.Houses
The school is divided into four houses, each who have received their name from a famous New Zealander as voted by the student body in 2004. Each house also has their own set colour which is used at house events e.g. Athletics Day so each student can comfortably represent their house, and it also encourages conformity within the school.
