What we do and how we do it
At Middle School West Auckland we do break down barriers for families by being genuinely free - we provide uniform, provide stationery and don't ask for donations.
We are unapologetically academic and believe in the growth and development of our students towards tertiary study and the breaking of embedded cycles for many of our families.
We are innovative in terms of our day structure and our Integrated Project Based Curriculum alongside the core subjects.
We know that small classes enhances interaction between students and teachers and enables more differentiated approaches. Hence a class maximum of 15.
That is not the key though.
.................
The key is that we have been able to attract an outstanding teaching and support staff. While article after article bemoans shortages, lack of quality and teachers leaving Auckland .... we have attracted superb people and involved people moving from far and wide to work with us. They are passionate, qualified and determined to make a huge difference.
Young teachers like Monika Toko (pictured below) - working in our bi-lingual unit (Te Kura Waengarahi ki te Uru - Pohutukawa) are making an incredible difference to young people.
Visit us at either of our campuses: Jack Ralston House, 287-289 Lincoln Road, Henderson (access off Paramount Drive), or Pohutukawa Villa, 22-24 Waipareira Avenue, Henderson, to see how we can help your child excel.
Places for 2018 are limited. Please apply without delay.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?
