About St Oran's College

St Oran's College is a girls school secondary (year 7-15) school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 502 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 380. The school has been open since 1959.

With 502 students on roll, St Oran's College is a large school — larger than about 81% of New Zealand schools.
