McAuley High School is a Catholic girls’ secondary school in Otahuhu, New Zealand. The school was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1962, and run by the order until the 1990s.^[3]

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.

Notable alumnae

• Annette Presley - businessperson and founder of Slingshot^[5]
