Macleans College

The school was opened in 1980 by the Governor General, Sir David Beattie. The school is co-educational and was the first S80 or whānau house school built in New Zealand. It now has a roll of over 2500 students.

Our school is very well resourced and is situated on a beautiful site overlooking the Waitemata Harbour.

Macleans College has earned a reputation as a world-class school with students that deliver results of the very highest standard and with the values and attributes that prepare them for successful lives beyond school.

One of the special features of Macleans College is our Whānau house system. Each student belongs to a Whānau that provides a supportive and welcoming environment in which to thrive.

Students enjoy a huge range of extra-curricular activities which allow for participation from the social level through to elite programmes. We are very proud of the quality of our teaching and support staff. They are capable professionals who also care for the all-round development and well-being of our students.

To deliver quality education and development opportunities to the young people of our community, ensuring that they receive excellent preparation for ongoing education, acceptance of social responsibilities and work in an international environment.
