Manurewa High School
Manurewa High School is a secondary school in Manurewa, South Auckland, New Zealand. It is a large multi-cultural school, with an enrolment of over 2,300 students.
Manurewa High School was opened on 2 February 1960. Prior to this, students in Manurewa needed to travel to schools outside the area, such as Otahuhu College. The high school was opened next to Homai School (then known as Manurewa North School), and a row of trees was planted between the two campuses to create a boundary. The school buildings were built to the linear school building plan, a plan only adopted by three schools (including Onehunga High School).
The school began with a roll of 126 students, but due to the growth in the area the school needed to add seven classrooms to the school by 1963. Night classes for adults were also held at the school, and were so popular that in 1960 there were more adult students attending night classes than students in the daytime. The school began holding large-scale school fairs from 1961, in order to fundraise for the school.
Manurewa High School is a multi-cultural school. In 2025, 51% of its students were Pasifika, 33% were Māori and 13% were Asian.
As of March 2026, Manurewa High Scholl has a roll of 2,458 students, of which 710 (28.9%) identify as Māori.
As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 508, placing it amongst schools whose students have many socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 2 and 3 under the former socio-economic decile system).
The Homai College for the Blind which is within walking distance of Manurewa High School. Blind and Visually Impaired students are placed in normal classroom environments and are assisted through the provisioning of specialised equipment and resources (such as Braille versions of textbooks), and staff trained to meet their special needs are available. This allows the students to participate fully in the school curriculum without any significant segregation.
