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 320 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.
