McAuley High School is a Catholic girls’ secondary school in Otahuhu, New Zealand. The school was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1962[3] and continues to be run by the order.

Students at the school achieve highly compared to the national average and to students at schools with a similar decile rating. Attendance figures are very high compared to most low decile schools[4] because the principal gives this a very high priority. Regular attendance at school is a constant message that is backed up by the local catholic church which stands at over 90%.[5]

In 2016 the school was awarded with both Excellence in Engaging and Education Supreme Awards by the Prime Minister of New Zealand.[6]
