In Pre-European times, the area around the school was a peat lake named Tunawhakapeke. The lake and surrounding swamps were a source of abundant resources such as tuna (eel) and harakeke (flax) for early Māori.
Rototuna is an area of rapid expansion, with the Hamilton City Council projecting a population of around 20,000 residents in the area within the next few years.
