Forest View Alumni

Tena Koutou Katoa, Kia Orana, Talofa Lava, Greetings.

I have great pleasure in welcoming past and present students, staff and Board Members to Forest View High School’s Alumni pages.

In 1974, the regional superintendent of Education, Mr D H Thurston, sent a telegram to Forest View’s first assembly. He asked those present to build a “fine school where friendship, courtesy and honest endeavour prevail”. Over the last 32 years, members of the Forest View community have taken these words to heart and put them into action. They are still a driving force as we move through the next century.

The first day for Forest View was Wednesday February 13, 1974, about one year after building contractors had moved onto the site and after the foundation pupils had enjoyed an extra long holiday. In its first year, the school had 185 students, 15 teaching staff, (including six part – time) and 6 support staff. In 2006, the school has 663 students, 46 teaching staff, (including 5 part – time) and 26 supporting staff. The number of levels taught, courses and qualifications offered, sports teams and performing groups available has continued to grow over the years, as has the number of buildings and the development of the school grounds.

Despite still being one of the newest secondary schools in New Zealand, Forest View already has many ex – students who have excelled in sporting, academic, cultural and other pursuits and we always look forward to welcoming them back to speak to our present students. Many of our present students are in fact the children of the school’s early pupils.

These pages list where our Year 13 students went to. They serve to show the many achievements of Year 13's in terms of employment and further education, in which they, the staff who taught them and their parents can take particular pride.

We hope they will also provide a reminder to the alumni groups of who was in their year, and encourage them to bring us up to date by contacting us with information for our Alumni pages.
