Aurora College is a state coeducational Year 7–13 secondary school located in Invercargill, New Zealand.
It is New Zealand's southernmost stand-alone secondary school, and second southernmost secondary school after The Catlins Area School in Owaka.
Aurora College opened in 2005, although it has a history extending back to 1912. It was formed from the merger of Mt Anglem College and Tweedsmuir Junior High School, on the former Mt Anglem site. [3] Mt Anglem College had operated for only six years, having opened in 1999 following the merger of Kingswell and Cargill High Schools on the existing Kingswell site. [4] Cargill High School was the successor school to Southland College (formerly Southland Technical College [5] [6]) after the latter site become part of Southland Polytechnic in 1978. [7] Kingswell High School, which was established in 1971, [8] [9] was built to the S68 plan which is characterised by single-storey classroom blocks of concrete block construction, with low-pitched roofs and internal open courtyards.
