Opihi College is a state co-educational secondary school in Temuka, New Zealand.[2] The school was originally founded as Temuka District High School in 1866, and became Temuka High School in 1966. It is a relatively small high school catering to approximately 300 students from Year 7 to Year 13.[3] It moved to its current site in 1969, and was renamed Opihi College, after the nearby Ōpihi River, in 2005.[4][5]
A wharenui was opened at the school in 2021.[6]
