Welcome to Kuranui College

Kuranui College is firmly focused on its Mission

​​​​​​​

Established in February 1960, ‘Kuranui’ translates to ‘Big School’ – a fitting name as it replaced four district high schools. It is conveniently located in Greytown, the midpoint between the towns of Martinborough, Featherston and Carterton.

The school recognises the unique communities that its students journey from.  New principal Misbah Sadat believes this is one of the reasons Kuranui students thrive at the school. Our students have a strong sense of identity of who they are and where they come from, leading to strong connections with their community and with their school.  We see our students as a whole person and value their right to be themselves, while understanding that each of us has a responsibility to contribute positively to our community.

The College remains firmly focused on its Mission: ‘Where each individual is nurtured, inspired and prepared to take their place in a changing world’.  We aim to produce young people who are strong, creative and able to make intelligent decisions in a rapidly-changing world.  This is underpinned by the five KC Kawa, or core values, of Manaakitanga (Respect), Mana Tangata (Integrity), Aroha (Empathy), Auahatanga (Creativity) and Te Hiringa (Determination).

This is at the heart of who we are and what we do. It is the way we expect all students and staff to learn, work and interact with whānau and the wider community.

Our values underpin our actions. We believe that effective relationships between staff, students and whānau are critical to our success and we have high expectations of our students and staff to work together to achieve the very best.
 
Kuranui College has always been at the forefront of innovative education and excels at providing students with real life context through its Ignite curriculum. Partnering with the local community, business and economic sectors, it provides all students with authentic learning experiences.
​​​​​​​
We encourage your child to embrace all that Kuranui has to offer. Dive into school life, get involved, and be open to new experiences. This is how they can truly become part of our community and make thier unique mark at Kuranui,

Ngā mihi nui,
