Northcote College underrated!
2yrs in experiencing this awesome school. Supportive teachers, great student culture who are down to earth and truly humble. A good diverse culture this school screams kiwi culture at its finest! The oldest school on the Shore is so underrated. It has more to offer than course subjects alone. All those BIG/IN schools don’t have what this school has - a well balanced approach across everything our kids need to thrive.

A former student
In the junior school quite wild. Some good teachers. Has many skeletons in its history.

This school is useless. The only good teacher is daddy Davis. Mr duldlys life mission is to steal weed of students so he has something to smoke that night. Half of the students are either smoking or vaping at break, the other half are stepping out teachers and fellow students. The cafe is overpriced, they will sell diabetes but not sugar free energy drinks. If u have less than 5 bucks you might aswell starve. The toilets are like if a long drop had the smell of peach ice. The bathrooms are a art museum, full of all the coolest new art like toilet paper on the walls and someone adding personalality to the tits or ass tally.

Don’t go there
Very violent, no safety for kids and school focuses on looking good so will sweep under rug, know someone who got beaten up and stomped on the head and school tried to hide it, prefects are also bad with one being an 18 yr old dating a 14 yr old and majority being extremely racist.

THANK YOU
This is my daughters first year and her last (year 13) she went to an out of zone school for years 9-12 then changed to Northcote. Thank you Northcote College, what an amazing atmosphere. She's never been so happy and is really discovered who she really is.

Great school
As a former student, I can say from my experience it's a great school. The school environment is nice, a variety of sports, clubs and cultural groups people can join. Student leadership is encouraged and there are a number of opportunities for people to explore different interests. Of course this school has some faults, like all do, but the thing that makes Northcote College special are the teachers. During my time there I can say that I only had positive experiences with my teachers. They were passionate about their subjects, students and the success of each individual. For me personally, there were a number who went above and beyond to support me during extremely difficult times, and I've still remained in contact with them since leaving. Sorry for the long review but I think this school deserves to be recognised for its positives.

Decent school, not westlake
Not sure what the other reviews are going on about, I think Northcote college’s saving grace is the teachers. We are pretty shit at sport, average academically, small library but the teachers genuinely are interested in what they teach and care about the students (for the most part). The school has a really friendly vibe and in my experience handles mental health issues relatively well. The school doesn’t pressure students to achieve, you have to have a level of self motivation, although saying...

Northcote College
Only a handful of teachers that actually care for the students. The way that problems are handled at this school is completely disgusting. Sure, NC is better than other local colleges but it's still horrid. My final year at this school thankfully.

teachers not caring like they should
the school is very unprofessional. all of the students know all the teachers know that constantly, a block of bathrooms is filled with people smoking, vaping and other illegal things. but no teacher tells anyone off, busts them, or monitors people’s behaviour
