Message from the Executive Principal

Welcome to Wentworth Computer Science College in Newmarket, Auckland. As founding Principal of Wentworth College, I am very excited to be opening our first satellite campus offering quality secondary education focusing on Computer Science and Digital Technologies. The Computer Science College offers a specialised education where students with an interest in digital technologies can focus their education on the subjects they wish to either study at university or that will prepare them for their chosen industry careers. We will offer an innovative, educational pathway that reflects and prepares students for the educational and career opportunities now and into the future.

A culture of excellence and achievement will exist at the campus, just as it does at our main campus. We will combine the best of a traditional education with an emphasis on core values and principles, alongside a progressive and future focussed curriculum. Small class sizes and skilled, enthusiastic teachers will be able to prepare our students to be high achievers in a world of constant technological change. Our focus on a low teacher to pupil ratio is something that I believe will allow us to maximise student learning as well as ensure positive teacher and student interactions. At the Wentworth College Computer Science College we look to an exceptional future for our students. My team and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the school with you and welcome your child to our school so that they, too, may share in the excitement of learning.
