Mountainview High School

Description

Alternative NameTimaru Technical SchoolTimaru Technical CollegeTimaru Technical High SchoolTimaru CollegeDescriptionTimaru Technical School was founded in 1901 as a co-educational evening school for those who normally worked during the day, operating in a building loaned from Main School.
In 1909 new purpose-built buildings on Arthur Street were opened, and in 1934 the school became Timaru Technical High School.
By the mid 1960’s the school had over 600 students working towards School Certificate and University Entrance.
Under the 1964 Education Act, technical high schools officially became secondary schools, hence the school was renamed Timaru College in 1967. Apprentice training was still held in the evening using the school’s facilities, but was now regarded as post-secondary education.
1984 saw the opening by the Prime Minister, Robert Muldoon, of the new Mountainview High School at Pages Road, as the site for Timaru Colleges' secondary section. The post-secondary technical section of the college remained at Arthur Street and became Aoraki Polytechnic in 1987.

The Aoraki collection holds nearly a complete set of yearbooks from 1951 to the present day. Mountainview kindly loaned us copies of editions we don't hold so we could digitise them. Please select the decade below to see the yearbooks that have already been digitised.

The photo magazines showing under publications contain significant images of school events from Timaru Technical School and Timaru College such as athletics and balls.
