Hagley Community College, is a non-integrated state secondary school in inner-city Christchurch, New Zealand. Prior to 1965 the school was Christchurch West High School, which was founded in 1858.
Unlike most New Zealand High Schools there is no uniform requirement and students may address their teachers on a first name basis. Over 92% of students leave with qualifications and a substantially greater proportion than the national average go on to graduate from a New Zealand University.[2] The current principal is Brent Ingram.[3]
The 1950s school hall has been transformed into a theatre, and former rooms of the school are now in use as a dance studio and drama studio.[4] As well as the usual NCEA subjects, Hagley offers several specialised programmes, including Early childhood Education, Hagley Dance Company, Hagley Writers' Institute and Hagley School of Cuisine.[5]
