About Long Bay College

Long Bay College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,984 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 422. The school has been open since 1975.

With 1,984 students on roll, Long Bay College is a one of the largest school — larger than about 99% of New Zealand schools.
