NAU MAI HAERE MAI - WELCOME TO DANNEVIRKE HIGH SCHOOL

Dannevirke High School is a medium-sized rural school for all students in the lower part of New Zealand’s North Island. We are located in the very heart of all the beautiful countryside that New Zealand is so famous for. Our students are able to gain an excellent education as well as enjoy the farms, forests and natural wonderland that surround our school and our town. 

We have an excellent range of courses and options available and where these do not  fit a particular student, we access courses through UCOL and Gateway as well as  Correspondence options. Our experienced staff will ensure that students can gain the  most from their courses of study, with extra support given to those who need it.  

Student Leadership, Values Education, Character Education as well as Citizenship Education is targeted through our Whānau system and a comprehensive Pastoral Care system. Horizontal Whānau Groups, a well-supported Dean Support structure as well as a large group forming our SADD committee ensure a supportive and caring environment. Dannevirke High School is a safe, healthy, and happy school.  

Come in for a visit and experience this for yourself. No student in this community needs to go further afield as this school offers more than just an education. With the emphasis on engagement and effectiveness, our students excel and do become the best that they can be. As teachers and school leaders we take responsibility for engaging our students in meaningful learning, and maximising the potential of every young person, by providing them with opportunities to be challenged and to succeed.
