Waiopehu College
Waiopehu College is a state coeducational secondary school located in Levin, New Zealand. The school opened in February 1973 as Levin's second secondary school, after Horowhenua College struggled to cope with 1200 students.[2] Serving Years 9 to 13 (ages 13 to 18), the school has a roll of 560 students as of November 2024.[1] The original school buildings were built to the Education Department's S68 design: single-storey classroom blocks of cinderblock or masonry construction, with low-pitched roofs and internal open courtyards. The college was one of many that had problems with leaking roofs in the 1990s and 2000s due to the S68's roof design.[3] In 2014 the school opened a purpose-built teen parent unit.[4] The building won an award in the 'education' category at the 2015 New Zealand Institute of Architects Awards.[5][6] In 2016 a new special needs unit was opened.[7] Notable alumni
