Haaro ki runga ki te tihi tapu nui o Maungatautari
Taaheke iho ki te au o te awa o Waikato e piko nei ki Te Uru
Kahukura ki runga, Kahukura ki raro, Kahukura tiketike
Tahuti mai ki te kura tuarua oTe Oko Horoi.
Teenaa koutou, teenaa koutou, teenaakoutou katoa.

This welcome in speaks of standing atop Maungatautari and looking out to the Waikato River as it snakes to the sea. It proudly locates us in the Waikato and welcomes you to our community, Te Oko Horoi (Cambridge).

Established in 1883, Cambridge High School (CHS) has a proud tradition of meeting the educational needs of our local community. Our roll of 1800 enables us to offer our diverse school population a wide range of academic, cultural, and sporting opportunities. The school successfully combines modern facilities, a progressive education programme and high expectations of student achievement. Our aim at CHS is to provide students with opportunities to reach their potential through an inspiring holistic education. In addition to academic achievement and qualifications, we highly value the development of the individual in a safe and positive learning environment. Our school motto “Fortiter et Recte” reminds us to have the ‘courage to do what is right’ and this is based in our REACH values.

We are proud to be an integral part of the Cambridge community school and value the support we receive in providing an excellent well-rounded education. Our positive results in so many areas of school life reflect the combined effort of the students, staff, parents, and the school Board. Students graduate Cambridge High School well-prepared for life beyond school with choices, confidence, and a sense of purpose.
