Mairehau High School is a school in Christchurch, New Zealand, taking its name from the suburb Mairehau. The school is located at the northeast end of the suburb, near to Shirley, thus forming a coeducational alternative to Shirley Boys' High School, and Avonside Girls' High School.
The school is currently undergoing redevelopment plans, which will take place over the next several years. The modern developments will accommodate the expanding role numbers, and be a great improvement from the current classroom buildings. The new design will be based around a set of one storey buildings, with the two main blocks (based on the Nelson Plan School Buildings) being demolished entirely.
Mr Harry Romana is the current Principal of the school, and he follows in the footsteps of Headmasters the late Mr A.B. (Bruce) Ryan, Mr Gary Jeffery, Miss Jillian Ussher, and Mr Neil Lancaster.
Mairehau High School opened on February 1, 1961, having been constructed on the advice of the Department of Statistics (now Statistics New Zealand).
