The honest truth
The REAL Columba College!!!
Ngl Iโm a hater. This school sucks a**! All the teachers have obvious favourites , they will hand out detention left and right like it's nothing. The students have โฆ let's just say.. a stuck up, privileged white girl stink about them. As a former student, I would advise against going to this college because once you're in, you can't get out. This place will forever leave a stain on my mind that can't be washed out. I recommend running faraway because this place WILL destroy you!
A Good School
It is a good school with kind students. Have amazing teachers and makes you feel safe in the community. You learn so quickly and the teachers help out were you need help.
It's an amazing school
I loved my time in Columba College and I really miss it. I recommend it to bright students who are looking to make life lasting friendships and are wanting to learn.
A Great School to be at
All the students are really amazing also are the teachers. You can make friends with nearly anyone and the community makes you feel safe. But some things that they need to work on is the food and not wasting all the money on new things and instead leaks in the boarding house and adding in more grass for the junior school
I love Columba
it's my favourite school that i've been to so far and I think it has awesome students and the teachers are lovely.
I enjoy it
I think the school has amazing students and awesome teachers, but I feel they should work more into education and less into making a sports terf (I miss the normal grass field). Overall I think it's a great school and I recommend many students to go there.
Columba College
Has good education, the teachers are all very nice. But some of the students can be rude but all the teacher do the best to deal with them. Overall a good work environment with great teachers and students.
Great environment, Bad administration
They have a good supply of textbooks and digital resources. Teachers, not so much.
The principal and the office's administration of international students made me get the h*ll out of this school (I'm an international student). The principal held a grudge against my parents and me just because we raised concerns about the international tuition fees skyrocketing every year. And what does the school use our fees for? They build a new boarding house, make sports merch, and a new turf. Excuse us, Columba, but we did not pay 10 times the domestic students' fees so that you can spice up the school's appearance. We care about education. And learning online on Te Kura because some teachers left is not a good look.

Columa college
This school is so sexist, they still follow a rule which implies that students are not allowed to eat while representing the school. This shows that columba has still not transitioned into modern day society
Best School with the name Columba College
Amazing school, I am related to everyone there though :(
the truth about columba
this school has an extremely bad maths department, the commerce department give out resubs to everybody, the science teachers smell bad and the English teachers are all in love with eachother.
Good, except for one flaw.
Great school, but the pickle jar really put me off. They should look into disposing of it.
