Principal's Message
Nau Mai Haere Mai,
As Acting Principal of Onslow College, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to our community. Onslow College prides itself on providing an exceptional educational environment, where every student is empowered to achieve their full potential and grow into confident, and valued members of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

-
Pursuing Growth
-
Whanaungatanga

Our extensive pastoral care network, coupled with a wide range of sporting and cultural activities, ensures that students have every opportunity to develop their individual strengths and identities.
