Amazing School
Onehunga High School is an amazing school. With about 1000 students it is an ideal place to serve the needs of the local community. Over the last 2-3 years it has experienced dramatic change in the quality of teaching and learning and the results prove it. The school is now safe and inclusive. Staff and students are proud to call it their home away from home.
OHS Proud
Onehunga High School is an incredible place. The transformation over the last few years has been remarkable. Not long ago, fights were happening daily, vaping was common in class, truancy was everywhere, and students controlled the school. Pass rates were worse than those of a decile one school and in 2017 we had the highest stand down rates in the country.
Now it is completely different. Students are in class learning, behaviour is calm and respectful, and academic results are the highest they have ever been across all levels. There is pride in the school again. Students wear their uniforms properly, they greet staff and visitors respectfully, and they are focused on their goals.
Staff are hardworking, warm, and supportive of each other. Leadership is strong and visible with clear expectations for both students and staff. There is a genuine sense of purpose here and students are achieving in ways that many thought were not possible.
Anyone who is negative about this school is simply in denial about the reality. Onehunga High School has never been in a better place, and it is an absolute privilege to be part of it.

Toxic culture
This school has changed a lot in the last 2 or 3 years since the arrival of the new principal. A divisive culture has developed amongst staff due to behaviour from the top. Dozens of staff have left because they no longer had confidence in the school leadership. Staff have been bullied, lied to and gaslighted from on high. There is a noticeable change in values with a lack of empathy, respect and integrity from the highest level. A toxic place for staff.

I have enjoyed my five years at OHS. It is a great school.
