Karoro Learning is a trading division of Greymouth High School. We are not a separate entity, but we operate on a different campus and provide “non-compulsory” education. We specialise in training for job-seekers. Training includes distance education throughout New Zealand, campus programmes in Greymouth and training and HR services for West Coast workplaces.
Established in 1994, Karoro Learning operates from its Greymouth base situated at 180 Tainui Street. We share our location with Mawhera Services Academy – another division of the school.
Karoro Learning also coordinates the West Coast Trades Academy for Greymouth High School.
Greymouth High School’s current Tertiary Investment Plan Summary is available here.
