Can my child go here?

This school has an enrolment scheme, so a place is not open to every address. How enrolment zones work

Loading zone map…

Zone boundaries shown here are approximate. Ministry of Education data warns these boundaries do not have high spatial precision and can place neighbouring addresses on different sides of a line. This is not a confirmation of enrolment eligibility — always confirm directly with the school. Zone geometry also does not reflect enrolment priority rules (siblings, special character categories, ballots) — it shows the mapped boundary only.

What would the day look like?

The practical things this school states on its own website — the hours, the uniform, the term dates, and how children get there. These are the school’s own words, not the Ministry’s record and not ERO’s.

Quoted from this school’s own website, as we read it on 13 August 2026. A web page carries no date of its own, so that is the day we read it — not a statement that any of this is still the case. Each line quotes the words it came from.

Uniform: Not stated on the school’s website.
Where to buy the uniform: https://www.argyleonline.co.nz/shop/north-shore/rangitoto-collegeYou can also purchase direct from our supplier Argyle Schoolwear [online](https://www.argyleonline.co.nz/shop/north-shore/rangitoto-college).

What does the school say about itself?

Quoted, not summarised. Every school describes itself well, so this is here to be read as the school’s own case rather than as a finding — and a school that states nothing simply has no row.

International students: Accepted, as statedOur international students, who come from more than 25 countries, make up around 8% of the school’s population and enrich the diversity of our community.

What is on offer beyond the classroom?

The sports, arts, clubs and groups this school names on its own website. Not a complete list of what any school offers, and not a count — a school that names more here has written more down, which is not the same as doing more.

On offer: Candy WavesCandy Waves supports providing entertainment for kids in Starship when they feel the most vulnerable
Chinese Literature ClubThe Chinese Literature Club is not only a space to appreciate the heritage of Chinese literature but also a place to add your own voice to its ongoing story.
traditional Chinese dancesA wonderful opportunity for students to be creative and energetic while learning traditional Chinese dances and their place in Chinese legends and culture.

About the school

Equity Index (EQI): 397
Boarding: No
Language of instruction: All students taught in English/other setting
Urban / rural: Major urban area
Date opened: 25 January 1956

The Equity Index is used by the Ministry to allocate equity funding. It describes the socio-economic barriers a school’s students face, not how good the school is. How the Equity Index works

What did ERO find?

The Education Review Office reviews every school and publishes what it finds in full. We quote ERO’s report here, section by section, in ERO’s own words and order, and link to it. We do not summarise a report, pick a line out of one, or turn one into a score. How ERO reviews schools

Reports ERO holds: 4
Last reviewed: 20 July 2026
Latest report: School Report July 2026
Report type: Review report
Board assurance: The board attested to all areas (29 November 2022)

A board assurance statement is the board’s own account of whether it took all reasonable steps to meet its legal obligations, on the date shown. It is not ERO’s finding. ERO reports separately, in the same report, on any non-compliance it identified during that process.

The board assurance report of 29 November 2022 carries no actions-for-compliance section — the section ERO uses when it names non-compliance it identified. That is what this report contains; it is not ERO saying it found none. Other reports ERO holds for this school may say something different.

What ERO wrote in its latest report

ERO published this report as a PDF attachment rather than as text on its page, so there is nothing here for us to quote from it. The report itself is at the link below.

All 4 reports ERO holds for this school

ERO reviews a school every few years — around four years between reviews is the usual cycle — so an older date here reflects where a school sits in that cycle, not how it is doing.
