Naenae College

Naenae College, is a state-run coeducational secondary school located in north-central Lower Hutt, New Zealand.

[5] The 2023 report from the Education Review Office (ERO) identified multiple areas of non-compliance during the board assurance process, and observed that "the school has noticed reduced retention, attendance and engagement.

With the raising of the school leaving age from fourteen to fifteen in 1944,[8] the expansion of Naenae and wider Lower Hutt, and the start of the post-World War II baby boom, Naenae College was built to accommodate secondary school students north of central Lower Hutt.

The school was built with long two-story wings of classrooms facing onto corridors, constructed with reinforced concrete on the first level and timber above that.

Principal Nic Richards had written to the Ministry advising that the servicing of the debt meant that the school's property was in "very poor condition", and it reduced the resources that were available to students.

Its effective service area is central-north Lower Hutt, including the suburbs of Avalon, Belmont, Boulcott, Epuni, Fairfield, Kelson, Taitā, Naenae and Wingate.
