Linwood College New Zealand

Welcome to the Linwood College family. The concept of family or Whanau is important to all cultures and we are delighted that our students and staff often comment about how friendly people are at Linwood. We are proud to be a multi-cultural school where students from New Zealand mix easily with others from Asia, Europe, the Pacific and South America.

In our caring, friendly and supportive environment all students can maximise their learning opportunities. By expecting high standards we are able to draw out the best in students. With a substantial roll we are able to offer many opportunities including an extensive range of subject choices and specialist fulltime courses. Our vision as stated in our logo is to provide all students with knowledge, skills and direction for their future.

We are sure that you will enjoy being part of this schools community. As a Linwood College student you are able to achieve success in a wide variety of academic, sporting and cultural areas.

Whatever your abilities or interests, when you eventually leave this school as a young adult, we envisage sending you out confident and well prepared for the future. You will join thousands of former Linwood students who play prominent roles in every aspect of society both in New Zealand and overseas.

To help prepare our students for adulthood we value a close relationship with parents and the community. Families are most welcome to visit the school or to contact the vertical tutor group teacher, year level dean, deputy principal or principal to discuss any issue. We also encourage open lines of communication through the Linwood College student diary and by issuing a fortnightly newsletter Linwood Link which is also available on-line on the school web site.

Linwood College is a progressive co-educational secondary school where students can realise hopes, dreams and potential. Together we can make a difference and we look forward to a successful partnership.
