Upper Hutt College is a state co-educational secondary school located in Upper Hutt, New Zealand. The school opened in 1962 as the city's second state secondary school, alongside Heretaunga College. As of July 2016, the school has a roll of 1084 students from Years 9 to 13 (ages 12 to 18).
Houses
The students are arbitrarily divided into four houses, each which have received their name from a famous New Zealander as voted by the student body in 2004. Each house also has their own set colour which is used at house events (for example Athletics Day) so each student can comfortably represent their house, and it also encourages artificial division within the school.
