A description of your school:
Reporoa College is a public co-educational Years 7 to 13 (Forms 1 to 7)
College established on its present site in February 1966. The roll
of the College is 285 students. The current school philosophy
emphasizes equality of all students, meeting their individual needs
and encouraging them to achieve to their potential.
The school site is 6.82 hectares in area and has within its boundaries
tennis/netball courts, one rugby field, one soccer field and one
hockey field. The classrooms are
divided into six main blocks. There are 23 teaching spaces and four
resource rooms, including seven free-standing classrooms.
There is a full size swimming pool complex, and a modern gymnasium
with an excellent supply of Physical Education equipment. These
facilities, along with a well stocked library, are available for
community use as required.
Other facilities within the College grounds include a Confidence
Course, Artificial Cricket Wicket, two practice concrete
pitches, Music Rooms, Canteen, Stationery Store,
College Hall, Music room and Changing Facilities.
There are a number of constraints on the College, mainly due to its
location. One is the heavy dependence on bus transport. Over 90% of
students travel to school by bus, and the school requires bus
transport for most education activities outside the classroom. Some
students send two hours a day on the buses, as some families live
in isolated places.
The area is predominantly agricultural, with supporting industries and
services.
The College enters teams in a wide variety of sports such as:
Athletics, Swimming, Basketball, Field Hockey, (boys and girls)
Netball, Equestrian, Cross Country, Triathlon, Tennis Orienteering,
Badminton and Cricket
