Macleans College

The College is situated approximately 40 minutes from the Centre of Auckland City, and 40 minutes from Auckland International Airport

Location and Environment

The school is composed of a number of modern buildings. Students are assigned to one of eight houses or “Whanau”, each containing about 300 students and functioning as a small “school within a school”. The Whanau Houses provide a more personal and caring environment than organisation as a single large school could provide. These self-contained buildings provide a unique environment within New Zealand schools. This type of arrangement has considerable influence on the successful development of individual student personality.
