Welcome from the Principal
Nau Mai, Piki Mai, Tahuti Mai, Welcome…
Kaikōura High School is the heart of the community for our students as they mature into young adults. Our size enables us to nurture this development by knowing our students as individuals and build learning pathways with them and their families as they move through the school.
Our five core values are expressed on our school logo and are an integral part of everything we do. Quality learning relationships are central to the school’s special character and our core values drive these.
Kaikōura High School is a co-educational Year 7 to 13 school. At Years 7 and 8 students experience the familiarity of a homeroom setting as well as the range of specialist subjects of a secondary environment. In the middle school, Year 9 and 10 students choose from a stimulating subject range studied over two years. Our senior students are offered a wide range of academic and vocational subjects preparing them for employment or further study when they leave school.
We aim to offer our students opportunities to become well-rounded, knowledgeable and capable lifelong learners and leaders who are culturally sensitive and who will contribute positively to society.

This groups day consisted of a dive, escape room/mini golf and pizza making.
Quite a few in this group had never done a dive before or made a pizza from scratch and did really well! It was cool to see them take on a new challenge and learn some new skills.
Izaac took the win for the biggest Kina on the dive and the boys completed the escape room in 47 minutes. Unfortunately we don’t think Hunter will be a pro golfer any time soon!

Great to see EOTC opportunities happening at Kaiakoura High School. Such great physical skills will lead to quality personnel skills and future choices. Well done all Kaikoura students and staff. Sounds like you could start an adult version!
