Aorere College is a New Zealand co-educational state secondary school (Years 9–13) that was established in 1964 in the Auckland suburb of Papatoetoe.

The founding principal, Charles Herbert, decided on a new name and the school was renamed Aorere College in 1965.

The name is a portmanteau of the Māori words Ao (clouds or sky) and Rere (to fly), indicating the school's vision for its students "to rise up and climb to the greatest heights in every aspect of their learning and achievements".

[3] In 2015, Aorere College was put on a 4–5 year Education Review Office cycle due to the school's high level of administrative and academic offerings.

[5] The school now has 1GB Wi-Fi across the campus, five computer labs, and approximately 1200 Chromebooks.
