Aranui High School was a large secondary school for years 9–13, in Christchurch, New Zealand. Aranui High School took its name from the suburb of Aranui, meaning 'big pathway' in Māori. Aranui High School was a coeducational alternative to other secondary schools in Eastern Christchurch such as Linwood College and Mairehau High School.
Despite its name, it is located in the suburb of Wainoni.[3] As part of the government's restructure of Christchurch schools following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the school's closure was announced in 2013. It closed in December 2016, and Haeata Community Campus, a school taking year 1–13 pupils was opened on the campus from a merger of Aranui High School with Aranui, Wainoni and Avondale primary schools.
