About The Catlins Area School
Welcome to The Catlins Area School, an educational gem nestled in the heart of Owaka within the scenic region of Otago.
As a co-educational composite school serving students from years one through twelve, we pride ourselves on providing equal opportunities for learning and growth. Our roll comprises approximately 130 spirited young minds eager to embark upon their educational journey with us under the guidance of our esteemed principal, Glenys Hanley.
Our school is a state institution that upholds New Zealand's commitment to offering quality education for all. We are located in Owaka - an idyllic town synonymous with natural beauty and warm-hearted locals who value community engagement as much as academic excellence.
In The Catlins Area School, we strive not only towards imparting knowledge but also instilling core values such as respect, integrity, responsibility, teamwork, compassion, and resilience. Our students are encouraged to embrace these principles both within the classroom walls and beyond.
