Tawa College
Tawa College is a state coeducational secondary school located in Tawa, Wellington, New Zealand. The school opened in 1961, and primarily serves students in Tawa and the surrounding suburbs. A total of 1100 students from Years 9 to 13 attend the school as of July 2025.
Tawa College opened in February 1961.
At the November 2018 Education Review Office (ERO) review, Tawa College had 1175 students enrolled, including 19 international students. 52 percent of students were male and 48 percent were female. 50 percent of students identified as European New Zealanders (Pākehā), 17 percent identified as Māori, 14 percent as Pasifika, and 20 percent as another ethnicity.
As of 2025, Tawa College has an Equity Index of 438, placing it amongst schools whose students have below average socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to decile 7 under the former socio-economic decile system).
Tawa College currently has 10 classroom blocks: A Block, B Block, C Block, D Block, E Block, F Block, H Block, J Block, S Block, and T Block.
Tawa College used to have two more blocks: G and K blocks, these are both out of use and scheduled for demolition. K block is being demolished for its high-risk asbestos, and G block for the extension of State Highway one, which is adjacent to it.
Like many New Zealand secondary schools of the era, the school was constructed to the Nelson Two-Storey standard plan, distinguished by its two-storey H-shaped classroom blocks. Tawa College has three of these blocks: B block, C block, and D block.
A Block is the foods, dance, woodwork and art block (along with Te Reo Māori in the PTA center). B Block is home to social studies classes as well as: psychology, history, geography, science and more. C Block is home to english, science, computer labs and more. D Block's classrooms includes: English, maths, maths offices, science and more. E Block is the language block with Japanese and French. F Block is the drama block with a miniature theatre which was recently revamped with the help from Nick Brown, HOD of Drama and Dance. G Block is a one story block which spans around the netball and basketball courts with all sorts of classrooms. H Block is the music block with: three studios, two music classrooms, a music office, a big music space, the school hall. J Block is the science block with two science classrooms. K Block is the retired kindergarten recently purchased by Tawa College and is currently used if there are no available classrooms. S Block is the special learning block for people with special learning needs.
