Mangere College Prospectus 2018

Welcome to
Mangere College
Mangere College is a school at the heart of its community. Our
students come from the surrounding area and enjoy a
welcoming and inclusive environment here at school.
Education Review Office
‘The school has a strong values
base. Inclusive, culturally
responsive relationships are a
feature amongst students and
adults. A sound bicultural
foundation to school practices
promotes strong multicultural
perspectives. All ethnicities are
acknowledged and valued.
Students have a sense of their
own identity in the school.’
‘Leaders and teachers are using
achievement information well to
make positive changes to
learners’ engagement, progress
and achievement. The board
and school leaders set targets to
accelerate the progress of
groups of students.’
We prioritise academic achievement and expect that all students
will leave the school with good qualifications. Our focus on
achievement has meant that our NCEA results have improved
significantly over recent years. We track each student through
school to ensure that they are meeting their personal goals and
progressing along a pathway that is appropriate for them.
As well as an academic focus our students enjoy a rich and
varied co-curricular programme. Each year we have a strong
involvement in Polyfest and offer a number of different activities
in sport and the arts.
‘The NZQA provisional results show your
Maori and Pasifika students have achieved
significant improvements in NCEA levels 1, 2
and 3 over the past two years. They also
show that their overall achievement levels
were above national Maori and Pasifika
students’ average for 2015.’
Hon Hekia Parata
‘For senior students, academic
counselling promotes a sense of
urgency about achievement and
knowing next learning steps to
accelerate success.’
