[edit] History
Mountainview High School was founded in 1901[2] and originally named Timaru College, later Timaru Technical College. In 1983 the school relocated to the current Pages Road site and was renamed Mountainview High School. The Timaru Technical College site became Aoraki Polytechnic.
An adjacent site was also purchased by the Ministry of Education for a new 'Timaru North Intermediate' to coincide with Watlington Intermediate in the south of Timaru. After school numbers began to decline the plan was abandoned, and Watlington Intermediate closed in late 2004.[3]
