Heretaunga College is a state coeducational secondary school located in Upper Hutt, New Zealand. The school has approximately 684 students from Years 9 to 13 (ages 12 to 18).
The college grounds are a large area with primary access via Ward Street (which runs North-West to South-East) and secondary access via Blockhouse Lane and Fortune Lane. The adjacent Blockhouse is a 1860s relic of the New Zealand Wars (although it never saw action), which is currently managed by Heritage New Zealand. The adjacent Fortune Lane was one of the first residential areas in Upper Hutt, but no original buildings remain.
