Every student has the potential to succeed — and our results speak for themselves. 

Mākoura College has the highest co-ed NCEA achievement in the Wairarapa, and ranks among the top co-ed schools nationally compared to similar schools. 

We also lead the country in Māori achievement in state schools, a reflection of our deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and excellence.

With small class sizes averaging just 14 students, every ākonga receives personalised attention and support. 

Our dedicated teachers bring learning to life through an innovative, exciting curriculum that stretches and inspires. From extension classes in the junior school to individual learning pathways in the senior years, we tailor learning to suit each student’s goals, strengths, and passions.

At Mākoura, we don’t just help students pass — we help them thrive.
