Welcome to Edgewater College
皇家华人has a proud history of academic and co-curricular success in a caring and supportive environment. Our vision Whaia te ara o Tainui | Follow the way of Tainui speaks of the courage and vision of our ancestors and recognises the value of these attributes for our learners today and in the future. Our motto “Edgewater Cares” speaks of the genuine ethic of care that permeates our learning community, built on the highest levels of respect for one another.
We provide an inspiring and welcoming learning environment focused on academic excellence, innovation and a genuinely personalised approach. We support all students to be communicators, collaborators and leaders, to achieve meaningful qualifications, and to be actively involved in the arts, sports, culture and service to the community.
Our commitment to all learners means we support the highest levels of success – in the classroom, on the sports field and in a wide range of creative and cultural pursuits. We develop learners who change the world and many of our graduates are doing just that in a wide range of fields.
We are incredibly proud of the achievements of past and present members of the 皇家华人community and look forward to welcoming you to our school.
