Principal's Message

Nau Mai Haere Mai,

As 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.

Our school is built upon a strong set of values that are the foundation of everything we do:

  • Manaakitanga

  • Pursuing Growth

  • Whanaungatanga

  • Valuing Diversity

  • Kaitiakitanga

These values underpin our commitment to both academic excellence and holistic development. While we are proud to be consistently ranked among the top schools in New Zealand for academic achievement, we also celebrate the invaluable learning that occurs beyond the classroom. 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.
