**Rangiora High School** is a state co-educational secondary school located in [Rangiora](/source/Rangiora), New Zealand. Established in 1881 by an act of parliament[5][6] and opened in 1884, the school has a roll of 1,733 students from years 9 to 13 (approx. ages 12 to 18) as of March 2026, making it the fifth-biggest school in the South Island.[7]

## Enrolment

Rangiora High School operates an [enrolment scheme](/source/Education_in_New_Zealand#State_school_enrolment_schemes) to help curb roll numbers and prevent overcrowding. The school's home zone, in which students residing are automatically entitled to be enrolled, covers much of the central Waimakariri District and the southern Hurunui District.[8] Students residing outside the zone are sometimes accepted, as roll places allow in accordance with the enrolment scheme order of preference.

As of March 2026, Rangiora High School has roll of 1,733 students, of which 274 (15.8%) identify as Māori.[7]

As of 2026, the school has an [Equity Index](/source/Equity_Index_(New_Zealand)) of 454,[9] placing it amongst schools whose students have average socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 5 and 6 under the former [socio-economic decile](/source/Socioeconomic_decile) system).[10]

## Curriculum

Rangiora High School has developed a junior curriculum based on the New Zealand Curriculum. In Years 9 and 10 students study English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Health & Physical Education. They also select elective subjects, which can include Arts subjects, Technology subjects and Language subjects (out of [French](/source/French_language), [Japanese](/source/Japanese_language), and [Te Reo Māori](/source/Te_Reo_M%C4%81ori)).

In Years 11 to 13, students complete the [National Certificate of Educational Achievement](/source/National_Certificate_of_Educational_Achievement) (NCEA), the main secondary school qualification in New Zealand. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of NCEA are usually completed in Years 11, 12 and 13 respectively, although students can choose subjects from different levels depending on their progress through the NCEA level system. In Year 11, students study English, Mathematics and four full-year elective subjects. Students in Year 12 study six full-year elective subjects. Students in Year 13 study five full-year elective subjects, with study for an additional four periods per week.

Rangiora High School has a school farm, which is used to teach land-based studies. Set up in 1910, it started out running stock and growing crops,[11] before being officially opened in November 1930 by Lord Bledisloe, the then Governor-General.[12]

## History

A School Council was established in 1921 to give pupils a role in school affairs, and a Nursery School in 1938 to provide pupils with practical experience at child care. The school farm was developed in the 1920s during the tenure of Mr. J. E. Strachan as principal, enabling the school to offer a full range of agricultural courses. The farm was originally 130 acres[60] but this has since changed.

A [giant redwood](/source/Giant_redwood) tree is in the grounds of the school. It was planted in 1887 to mark [Queen Victoria](/source/Queen_Victoria)'s Diamond Jubilee and has now grown into a very large tree.[61]
