Nayland College

Well...if you want to see people kissing every corner than this school is for you, if you are a bully and expect to not have any consequences then this school is for you, schools just sloppy. If you're getting bullied and you report it they'll just say they've come from hard homes and give them one lunchtime detention. But that doesn't mean that they can get away with hurting other people. The whole school legit needs to use the 'counselling' they provide. It doesn't help anyways.

Good facilities Good variety of academic courses and sports Strong student leadership Pleasant office staff Good parent teacher communication Great Kapahaka Whanau Unit Puuaha Te Tai Kapahaka Roopu

honestly nayland is a huge hit or miss, if you're a sociable person who cares about popularity and stuff like that this might be a good school for you. if you want to have a more advanced education then go elsewhere. the teachers are nice but the students suck to be honest.

My child is enjoying Nayland College. Good subject choices. Good sporting opportunities. Friendly staff.

principal fr called me sloppy for wearing my PE clothes to school…

Was good for the first few years I was there and everyone was positive towards the school's decisions, but that all changes when the new principal, Mr Wilson came in and announced that there would be uniform for seniors, which hit a lot of the juniors hard. I've spent the last year and a half just watching everyone's attitude towards senior management just go down harder than a person with a few extra chromosomes. But at least the education and teachers are good and will pull you through even the most difficult parts of your school life.

They are friendly and will help you if you need it. It's great having the uniform shop also on site 2.

Amazing school which has an amazing quality of pastoral care and support for students mental well being. Some teachers do have student vendetta but overall an amazing educational experience. Would recommend Nayland College.

I've been at Nayland for almost the last 5 years, it has been an interesting experience, I've definitely found myself and cemented what I want to do for the future. I'm not the 'ideal' student by any means, but it's not by fault of the school or the teachers. Almost all of the teachers at Nayland are extremely supportive of whatever path you might want to take, and are willing to go the extra mile to try to help you get there. It is with great anticipation of what the 'real world' is going to be like, and great difficulty of moving on from the great experiences I've had here, that I depart from this school on to bigger things. Fundamentally, no school is perfect, but this one is pretty close to it where it counts.

I was a visiting tradesman to the school often in 2019. I was impressed. All the students were respectful, polite and friendly. Well done to the staff. Cool groundskeepers aswell.
