It is a great honour to be leading Collingwood Area School into the next phase of our journey. It is a school with a strong identity and culture evidenced by manaakitanga (respect and caring) and whanaungatanga (relationships).
We are positioned in a unique setting overlooking the magnificent Whakamaramara Range with a catchment of whanau that come from as far as the West Coast to Tasman Bay. Our cohort includes New Entrants to Year 13.
Our challenge is to continue to provide opportunities for all of our akonga (learners) that allows them to “Ka eke ngātahi tātou i te ngaru o te angitu” – (Together we ride the lifelong wave of success).
We are in exciting times as we look at our 21 Century learners and how to meet their changing needs which will inform the plans for a total new school rebuild that is planned.

Our Learning
At Collingwood Area School we embrace the unique nature of our environment and we are committed to fostering a learning environment that inspires our tamariki. We are able to offer a variety of learning opportunities for the needs of all our students from New Entrants to Year 14.
Our Primary syndicate (Year 0 – 8) has small class sizes and a low teacher/pupil ratio. This allows us to build great relationships and focus upon raising achievement for all our students. Our staff are highly qualified and place a high value on education and emotional well being.
Our Secondary Syndicate (Year 8 – 14) students have the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects with Specialist staff within school and they also have the opportunity to partake in Distance Learning Options such as Te Kura, Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) and many other providers. This allows us to provide all the courses and subjects required by our students for whichever pathway they may wish to embark on. We have very strong academic results enabling our students to move onto Tertiary education at University or Polytechnics. We run an active Gateway programme and our Coordinator works closely with the local community.
