History
Howick College was established in 1974 to serve the Howick area of eastern Auckland. The school was built to the "S68" design, characterised by single-storey classroom blocks with reinforced masonry walls, low-pitched roofs, internal open courtyards and protruding clerestory windows.
The school abolished corporal punishment of students before it even opened, becoming one of the first schools in New Zealand to do so. Corporal punishment was abolished nationwide sixteen years later, in July 1990.
Enrolment
At the August 2012 Education Review Office (ERO) review of the school, Howick College had 1806 students enrolled, including 48 international students. The school roll's gender composition was evenly split: 50% male and 50% female; and its ethnic composition was 47% New Zealand European (Pākehā), 14% Other European, 12% Māori, 9% Asian, 7% Pacific Islanders, 5% Indian, and 6% Other.
