Green Bay High School, New Zealand

Green Bay High School is a co-educational secondary school in the West Auckland suburb of Green Bay, New Zealand, catering for students from Year 9 to Year 13. The school primarily serves the communities of Green Bay and Titirangi. History The school opened in 1973. The founding principal of the school, Des Mann, challenged many of the standard educational practices of the 1970s. He refused to allow students to be caned, did not enforce a school uniform, and did not stream pupils into academic and non-academic classes. The school has since adopted a uniform, and began awarding prizes. In 1978, Green Bay High School opened Kākāriki Marae, the first marae built on high school grounds, after lobbying by Pat Heremaia, the head of Māori Language studies at Green Bay. Heremaia presented a paper in 1984 to the Māori Educational Development Conference, discussing the success of Kākāriki Marae, which was one of the factors which led to marae becoming common in New Zealand schools. Enrolment As of March 2026, Green Bay High School has a roll of 1,953 students, of which 257 (13.2%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 430, placing it amongst schools whose students have below average socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 6 and 7 under the former socio-economic decile system).

Rolleston College

Rolleston College is a co-educational state high school in the town of Rolleston, New Zealand. It is the only secondary school in the town. The school is one of the largest secondary schools in the South Island, with 1,783 students attending as of March 2026. History Construction on the school began in July 2015, and was completed in January 2017. Rolleston College was opened on 30 January 2017, and was initially open only to Year 9 students in the first year of secondary school. The school added year levels annually as the 2017 Year 9 cohort moved through; the school opened to all year levels (Years 9 to 13) in January 2021. At the time of opening, Rolleston College was the first state high school to open in Canterbury in more than 30 years. Prior to Rolleston College's opening, the nearest secondary school to Rolleston was Lincoln High School in the town of Lincoln. Staff The school consists of approximately 150 teachers, and 200 total staff. The current principal is Rachel Skelton who replaced the founding principal Steve Saville in 2020 after he stepped down in December 2019. Senior Campus expansion In 2021, The Ministry of Education announced plans to create a second campus, as the original campus was not designed to cater for upwards of 1,500 students. The second campus was planned to house senior students, while the original campus would be exclusively for juniors. The second campus was officially opened in February 2026. The decision to open a second campus was met with criticism, with some critics saying that opting to create a second secondary school in Rolleston would have been the more favorable decision. Then-Minister of Education Chris Hipkins said at the end of 2021, when making the land purchase announcement, that the expansion would take the college’s capacity to about 3400 students. If the school reaches or exceeds its future capacity, it would make Rolleston College the largest school in New Zealand, beating out Rangitoto College in Auckland, which has around 3200 students. Enrolment As of March 2026, Rolleston College has roll of 1,990 students, of which 286 (14.4%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 449, placing it amongst schools whose students have average socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 5 and 6 under the former socio-economic decile system).

Geraldine High School

Geraldine High School (Māori: Te Kura Tuarua o Raukapuka) is a co-educational state secondary school located in Geraldine, South Canterbury, New Zealand. The school serves students from Years 7 to 13 and from both the town of Geraldine and the surrounding rural communities. History From the passage of the Education Act of 1877 to 1901, local residents of Geraldine worked to gain approval for establishment of a district high school in Geraldine, raising the status of the Geraldine Primary School. The origins of Geraldine High School trace back to January 1902 with the establishment of the Geraldine District High School. At that time, 27 students were enrolled in the high school. In 1906 the school building was destroyed by fire, and for seventeen months, the seniors met in the town's Volunteer Hall and juniors met in the Oddfellows Hall. Unfortunately, the low numbers resulted in the closure of the high school in 1909. In 1915, it was reopened in the Oddfellows Hall, with twenty students attending. In 1963, the institution was restructured and officially became Geraldine High School, expanding its facilities and curriculum to accommodate a growing student population. Campus Situated at 93 McKenzie Street, the school has undergone significant developments over the years. A notable recent project includes the construction of a new gymnasium, completed in early 2025, funded by the Ministry of Education. Academic programmes Geraldine High School offers a comprehensive curriculum aligned with the New Zealand National Curriculum. The 2023 report of the Education Review Office listed strengths as: Students work towards the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) across various subjects. In addition to traditional academic courses, the school provides vocational programmes, including a Building Academy introduced in 2025. Leadership As of 2025, the principal of Geraldine High School is Marcus Cooper. Notable alumni Mark Inglis – Mountaineer and motivational speaker; the first double amputee to summit Mount Everest.

Sullivans Dam

Sullivans Dam (often incorrectly but grammatically referred to as Sullivan's Dam) is a reservoir in a forested area 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the north of the centre of Dunedin, New Zealand. The dam is located to the east of Mount Cargill, close to the Dunedin Northern Motorway in the upper Leith Valley, some 500 metres southeast of the Leith Saddle. It was proposed in 1909 by City Councillor Archibald J. Sullivan (1869–1932), after whom it is named, in order to expand Dunedin's water supply. Work began in May 1913 and the reservoir was officially opened on 15 July 1916. The surrounding catchment area is today a popular site for walkers, with numerous bush walks around the reservoir. The reservoir was also stocked with trout shortly after its completion, and stocks of the fish are periodically replenished. As such, the reservoir provides popular sport for anglers. References
