Opihi College is an innovative, co-educational Year 7 to 13 school situated in Temuka, Aoraki, South Canterbury
The change of our school name from Temuka High School to Opihi College is a reflection of the beginning of a new era for our school. The literal translation of the name 'Opihi' - to spring forth, is symbolic of the many developments within our school.
We provide a positive learning environment in which all students can achieve success with respect for themselves and others.
We are confident that you will enjoy being part of our school community, should you wish to join us. Opihi College is an ideal size in that it is big enough to offer a wide range of learning opportunities, yet small enough for students to be known by staff and their needs quickly recognised.
A family atmosphere and a safe, supportive environment encourage students to perform to their potential.
We promote sound country values, whilst delivering a world class education.
Whatever their abilities or interests, when students eventually leave our school as young adults, we envisage that we send them out into the community confident and well prepared for the future.
As a school we are excited to be part of many educational developments and innovations. If you wish to know more about our school, please contact the office to arrange a visit to view our fine facilities and to discuss your child's needs on a personal level.
We look forward to a successful partnership.

Principal
