Kuranui College is a state co-educational secondary school for the South Wairarapa located in Greytown, New Zealand.[12] The college opened in February 1960 to replace the four district high schools in Greytown, Featherston, Martinborough, and Carterton.[13] The college was built in Greytown, for it was the midpoint of the towns.[14] In the midst of the post-World War II baby boom. It has been said to have as many as 900 students in the mid-1970s, but since the end of the baby boom, that number has dropped.[15]
Then Education Minister Lockwood Smith disbanded the college's Board of Trustees due to it being dysfunctional. Brian Lochore was appointed commissioner after sacking of the board of trustees in 1994.[16][17] Board in-fighting had reached the stage where the students rebelled, staging a lunchtime student strike.[18] In 2005, Trevor Mallard visited Kuranui College due to the Wairarapa schools project, WELCom. He first announced the project at Kuranui College. The project aims to establish a 'virtual' secondary school community for the Tararua and Wairarapa region using broadband.[19] Kuranui is one of 15 rural secondary schools in New Zealand with agricultural subjects in their curriculum.[20] Kuranui is a busload college with over eighty per cent of the students who go to college travel to and from school daily by bus.[21]
The college serves Years 9 to 13; the college has a roll of 821 students as of February 2024.[8]
