Our college was built in 1986 when the Wanaka Area School was outgrown. Currently we are undergoing a major redevelopment of the campus to update current buildings and cater for our growing roll.
The college is experiencing a positive growth at present. In 2019 we started the year with over 1050 students. Each year we also have around 30 international students and 30 hostellers from around New Zealand.

The overall plan which consist of five stages, will encompass many new learning area expansions. Our 1000 students current capacity will be significantly increased to house 1600 student.
