Mt Hobson Middle School is situated at 131 Remuera Rd in the heart of what has become known as the medical mile. The building is a 1930’s Villa that has been modified to be an ideal facility for this type of school. Rooms include – a science room, an art room, ample teaching spaces, ICT features throughout the school (desktops, laptops, data projectors, scanner, printers, cameras), a school lounge for audio-visual learning, a kitchen and areas set aside for quiet, individual and small group learning.

In the afternoons the local area becomes the school. There are parks and sports facilities nearby that we often use, as well as local businesses, libraries, the museum, art galleries, etc. Through proper use of these resources and the internet the students at Mt Hobson Middle School learn in an environment without walls.

Central Auckland Middle School is situated at 17 George St Newmarket. The building overlooks the Auckland Domain and has 5 classrooms and an independent work space. A large lunchroom and kitchen are also available to be enjoyed by the students. Breaktimes can be spent in a supervised environment at the Domain or using the recreation areas at the school.
