Camberwell Road, Hawera, Taranaki

Hawera High School is located in the town of Hawera, South Taranaki. Hawera is an hours drive south of New Plymouth and an hours drive north of Wanganui. It has a resident population of about 9,000 people. Mt Taranaki forms the spectacular backdrop to the region, while the dramatic coastline is just a few kilometres from the town. The mountain, beaches and hinterland offer a lot of scope for people with outdoor interests. Sporting clubs thrive and there is a cultural tradition in the district, which fosters a thriving Repertory Society, brass band, orchestral society and various choral groups.

It is a flourishing area with a focus on dairy farming with a very large dairy factory, part of the Fonterra Group. The town has an excellent business centre, and progressive town Council. Hawera High School has very good relations with the community, and the evening Community classes run by the school, are very popular.
