Māruawai College is a co-educational state school catering for Year 7-13 students opening at the start of the 2024 academic year.

We have been established because of a voluntary merger of Gore High School and Longford Intermediate.

We are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience at Māruawai College that is learner centred.

To achieve this, we focus on successfully meeting the educational objectives set by the Government.

We strive to ensure the following:

• 
• Learners, with their whānau, at the centre of everything we do.
• 
• Great education opportunities and outcomes within reach of every learner.
• 
• Quality teaching and leadership that makes a difference for learners and their whānau.
• 
• Learning that is relevant to the lives of New Zealanders today.

At Māruawai College, we believe education is not just about gaining knowledge, but also about developing character and becoming responsible members of our community..
