Waiopehu College is a state coeducational secondary school located in Levin, New Zealand. The school opened in February 1973 as Levin's second secondary school, helping to relieve the town's other secondary school, Horowhenua College, which was struggling to cope with a roll of 1200 students.[2] Serving Years 9 to 13 (ages 12 to 18), the school has a roll of 605 students as of November 2013.[1]
