Creative and Inspiring
Logan Park High School has a well-deserved reputation for being the premier hub of creativity in the Dunedin secondary education sphere. It is certainly true that a disproportionate number of the city’s high achievers in every field whether academic, creative, sport, music, leadership or service have been fostered and nurtured by the dynamic, supportive ‘blue sky’ thinking our school embodies and encourages. Our students go on to distinguish themselves in almost every area imaginable.
The secret to our success is that we inspire individuals.
We know that students need to feel happy, safe and to belong in order to flourish. We work hard on making our school a caring, kind and inclusive community where everyone can find their place, make good friends and discover their potential.
We are in the business of growing young people. Our talented staff are learning experts, able to ensure that all students discover the necessary knowledge and skills to place them confidently on the road to becoming life-long learners.
Our students continue to excel in NCEA qualifications. In New Zealand’s premier academic NZQA Scholarship exams our students regularly win top scholarships and we have sustained these results for over 20 years. In 2019 Logan Park Year 13 graduates have won over $320,000 in university scholarships including securing the most prestigious New Zealand University scholarships.
Some recent highlights include 4 students scoring the top marks in New Zealand in international ICAS examinations, winning the 2019 Otago Southland Show Quest along with the 2019 Otago Sheila Winn Shakespeare title as well as having 2 drama students selected to represent New Zealand at the Globe Theatre next year. In Athletics students broke 3 records at the 2019 South Island Champs. Our Jazz Band and music scene are legendary.
