Western Springs College - Western Springs
About Western Springs College
Western Springs College, known to those who teach and learn here as ‘Springs’, occupies a special place in New Zealand’s educational landscape. We characterize ourselves as a ‘waka hourua’ – a double hulled canoe of English medium and Māori medium education.
The ‘Springs’ English medium school of 1450 students and the Māori medium rumaki immersion school, Ngā Puna o Waiōrea, of 300 students enables us to be doubly effective within the context of 21st century New Zealand Society.
If you had to choose one word to describe Springs, ‘real’ would be a good choice. We encourage academic achievement not as a prize fight, but because it opens doors that allow our students to follow any pathway they choose. We’re actively engaged with the communities we serve and the tertiary establishments that accept our graduates. And we attract teachers who are in the business of teaching, rather than enforcing rules for the sake of rules. Most of all, we understand that standing still is never an option. When proven educational innovations show us a better way, our students and teaching staff are keen pioneers.
Our school has completed the largest rebuild in the history of New Zealand secondary education. The result is a “school like no other”. A truly exceptional piece of architecture designed to change the way we think about pre-university learning environments. In fact, visitors tell us that Springs “looks like a University. “There is no way this is a school!” is their response as they experience this place for the first time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I don't know anyone who went to Western Springs and don't look back at those times with nostalgia.
As a foreigner, the experience was quite something. Compared to schools in Europe or North America its a bunch of individual classrooms with plenty of outdoor and open spaces that pushed us to spend more time outside and play sports with each other.
The teachers are all great, Tim teaching english, if you are still there you rock!
Its a strange peaceful atmosphere that's tough to find in other countries and the maori students are truly an example to follow in terms of contributing to the community and sharing time and knowledge between generations.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cannot express how amazing this school is. Talented and personable staff who are open to being called by their first names and who communicate to pupils on a equal level. By the time you graduate you'd have a friend-worthy relationship with a number of teachers (still to this day have lots of Facebook). Students are encouraged to step up to the mantle and mature early on, and there is a noticable level of maturity difference when they travel to interschool events and house parties (when you're a bit older ;) ). There is room for students to form tight friendships that will continue on for years after school ends while recieving a great education as well. I look back on my high school years with a rose tinted hue, nothing but glorious nostalgia and feelings of warmth when I remember how fantastic those years were.
