Fiordland College is a school in Te Anau, New Zealand, for students from Year 7 to Year 13. It's a co-educational school, meaning both boys and girls attend. Te Anau is a town located right by Lake Te Anau. This area is also known as the entrance to Fiordland National Park, which is New Zealand's largest national park.
Fiordland College is very involved in teaching students about the environment. For many years, the school has been part of a special project called 'Kids Restore the Kepler'. Through this project, students get amazing chances to see wildlife up close. They also help with conservation projects and learn important new skills. Students at Fiordland College can also join many different sports teams. These include netball, rugby, field hockey, and kī-o-rahi, which is a traditional Māori game.
