Mount Roskill Grammar School

Mount Roskill Grammar School has a long history of success and it is a privilege to be part of this school community as its seventh principal.

Students at Mount Roskill Grammar School can expect a safe and inclusive learning environment where diversity is celebrated and students are supported to reach excellence in a wide range of school activities.

The Roskill Way and our values of Manaakitanga, Tūmanakotanga and Whanaungatanga guide us in respecting others, striving for excellence and creating a sense of family at our school.

At MRGS an excellent education, great facilities, an extensive range of subjects and a fantastic variety of co-curricular, leadership and sporting opportunities are the norm for every student. More than this, MRGS offers a warm, caring community where each individual is valued for who they are and the potential they have.

At MRGS we believe that success starts with great teachers. By investing in, and supporting our staff, we attract and retain exceptional teachers. Teachers that are passionate about successful learning outcomes and who use their skills to challenge, motivate, inspire and connect with the students

MRGS consistently achieves outstanding results, and a personalised education underpins this. We measure student progress against individual improvement. We offer support across all learning capabilities. We offer a wide range of subject choices, co-curricular opportunities and university and career pathways to suit different talents. It’s this individualised learning that enables students to experience personal success, which instils self-belief and resilience.

At MRGS, we promote an inclusive and caring campus. By offering a range of programmes and courses in areas such as leadership, peer mediation and mentorship, mental health and wellness, empathy, respect and anti-harassment, our students gain the right tools to be active participants in managing their environment and understanding what is acceptable behaviour.

We value academic achievement alongside developing strong social and emotional skills and want our students to experience the full range of activities that a large secondary school has to offer. This includes our sports academies, cultural groups and the arts.

We build a partnership with our families that starts at enrolment and continues through a student’s journey with us

Vision
Our students will be successful, powerful learners who are active and responsible citizens

Mission
In a safe, supportive environment, MRGS will provide learning opportunities for each student to strive for excellence, realise their potential, and develop understanding of social responsibility and respect for individual and cultural differences.
