Upper Hutt School has a long and proud history within Upper Hutt, with its original rooms opening in the Upper Hutt Catholic Church building in 1864. The school soon outgrew this space and was then transferred to a Trentham site in 1866. Upper Hutt School, was then re-established at its current site on Martin Street, 26th March 1909.
In 2016, the new Upper Hutt School logo was released and celebrated. Our logo represents the 100 year old Oak Tree, which sits proudly in the centre of Upper Hutt School. The logo represents and acknowledges the history of the school; a mighty tree that has stood the test of time. A tree that stands tall and proud. A tree that each year, changes and adapts across the seasons. A tree that drops golden acorns to the ground, which seed and grow from seedlings to mighty trees.
