In 1962 the college was relocated to its present Constable Road site[4]. The college caters for students from Waiuku township and the wider rural community, a population of approximately 10,000 people[5].

The school motto is a Maaori expression, Titiro Teitei which exhorts students to Aim High[7] in all they do in terms of expectations, effort and excellence. The school's current vision is Empowering learners towards their future success Kia eke te tauira ki toona kairangitanga[7].
