Feilding High School is a co-educational high school founded in 1921. Formerly Feilding Agricultural High School, we are a school with strong traditions. We currently educate over 1400 students, 185 of whom board in our hostel, L.J. Wild House. We have a strong academic focus and in recent years our sporting achievements, especially in boys’ and girls’ rugby, have also kept our name in the news.
Originally, the focus of our school was on our two farms and on the education of young men and women with a rural background. Whilst we have retained the farms, our students now move on to succeed in a range of areas. Our special character is exemplified by our School Council which consists of over 50 senior students elected to carry out a wide range of responsible roles, including the disbursement of some $50,000 to our myriad sporting and cultural groups. Currently, 10 of our students are Manawatu District Council Youth Ambassadors.
We are fortunate to have a spacious campus and excellent facilities for our students. Although we are a traditional school we encourage innovation in teaching and learning.
