Hutt Valley High School is a vibrant, inclusive community with exceptional opportunities
Hutt Valley High School, Te Kura Tuarua o Te Awakairangi was founded in 1926. We focus on providing a high-quality education that ensures our students have the best opportunity to develop their strengths and talents and achieve success in a way that gives them a purposeful and rewarding future life.
Hutt Valley High School is a calm, friendly, purposeful campus where students achieve incredible things. Our students are firmly at the centre of all we do – with student wellbeing as important as academic, cultural and sporting success.
Celebrating 100 Years of Hutt Valley High School
Planning is underway for the 100th anniversary celebration of Hutt Valley High School. We’ll be opening the school doors for a special Centenary Open Day on Saturday, 8 August 2026, 10am to 4pm – a chance to revisit old classrooms, see what’s changed and reconnect with friends, classmates and former teachers.
