Education Institutions in Temuka, Timaru

Welcome to Opihi - and look at our college! Drawing inspiration from nature around us; the South Canterbury sky and the weave of our braided rivers, we spring forth to achieve our aspirations while enjoying a wonderfully nurturing school environment. Our school has a sustainable focus by integrating our rural aspect with the innovation of modern teaching spaces. With enrolment under 400, students thrive in smaller classes taught by staff that are specialists in their field. We really are like a big family, looking after each other, from year 7 to 13. Students receive engaged attention throughout their entire learning journey - no matter which path they choose. Why not take a fresh look at Opihi? Contact us for a tour or more info!
