About Morrinsville College

Morrinsville College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Morrinsville, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 745 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 481. The school has been open since 1923.

With 745 students on roll, Morrinsville College is a very large school — larger than about 91% of New Zealand schools.
