Welcome to Hutt Valley High School

The 'High School' has been an integral part of the Lower Hutt City community since 1926. Not only is it physically located in the heart of the city but its previous students form the heart of the Hutt Valley community. For more than 70 years the school has been the neighbourhood High School for the Central Hutt Valley and Eastern Bays and has fed a stream of students into every type of occupation and tertiary institution in the Hutt Valley, Wellington and elsewhere. It counts among its old pupils some of New Zealand's foremost scholars, scientists, commercial, professional and sports people.

Two things usually concern new parents above all else; will my child succeed in the new demands made on him or her, especially in public examinations; and will they be happy at such a large school?

High School students consistently score above the national mean in external examinations, and we would expect to given our contributing community. Further, a large school ensures that all students can find other students of similar background and interests to themselves, and this is important in their social development and general happiness. We can also offer an unparalleled range of extra-curricular activities to cater for all interests.

What we try to offer students is spelt out in this Prospectus; but the dominating aim of the school, through both its classrooms and its variety of extra-curricular activities, is to expect and insist on high standards of endeavour and achievement to give students confidence and self-reliance, to enable each to feel a sense of self-worth and so to be prepared for the world they will live in when they leave school.
