Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate
In 2015 Education Review Office (ERO) reported that the collegiate has one board but three principals - one each for its junior, middle and senior schools - and is struggling despite ongoing support.[1] In March 2017 ERO had carried out an assessment and revealed that Sir Edmund Hillary Junior School (Year 1–6) had an evenly split gender gap (50% male 50% female).[7] Its Middle counterpart (Year 7–8) had 1% less of Samoans and 8% less of Tongans but had 2% more of Niue and two times as much of Cook Islanders.[8] The Senior part of the school (Year 9-13) had a gender gap of 53% female and 47% male out of which 40% are Samoan, 22% are Tongan, 15% are Cook Islands Māoris and 3% was of other ethnicity.[8] Notable people associated with the college include teacher and language advocate Tupou Manapori.
