Wairarapa College

Wairarapa College is a state coeducational secondary school located in Masterton, New Zealand.

While the second storey was removed after the 1942 Wairarapa earthquakes, the building still stands today as the Lone Star restaurant.

In June 2002, an arson attack on the school destroyed several classrooms and caused $1 million in property damage.

[7][8] Until August 2013, Wairarapa College operated an enrolment scheme to help curb roll numbers and prevent overcrowding.

The school's home zone, in which students residing were automatically entitled to be enrolled without rejection, covered the western half of the Masterton township and the rural area to the northwest, west and southwest of the town, bounded by Mikimiki Road to the north, State Highway 2 to the east, Wiltons Line in the south, and the Tararua Ranges in the west.
