What we do and how we do it
At South Auckland Middle School we do break down barriers for families by being genuinely free - we provide uniform and 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.
Come and see for yourself - Visit us at 198 Mahia Road, Wattle Downs, to meet our staff, view our facilities and see how we can help your child excel.
Places for 2018 are very limited. Please apply without delay.
