Aurora College opened in 2005, although it has a history extending back to 1912. It was formed from the merger of Mt Anglem College and Tweedsmuir Junior High School, on the former Mt Anglem site.[3] Mt Anglem College had operated for only six years, having opened in 1999 following the merger of Kingswell and Cargill High Schools on the existing Kingswell site.[4] Cargill High School was the successor school to Southland College (formerly Southland Technical College[5][6]) after the latter site become part of Southland Polytechnic in 1978.[7] Kingswell High School, which was established in 1971,[8][9] was built to the S68 plan which is characterised by single-storey classroom blocks of concrete block construction, with low-pitched roofs and internal open courtyards.[10]
