Welcome to Mission Heights Primary School
We are a primary school serving the Flat Bush community in Manukau Auckland catering for Year 1s to Year 6s. We strive to be a friendly and receptive school, alert to the needs of our young learners and helping them to reach their full potential. We believe forming positive relationships with our parents and our wider community will enable us to achieve this.
Parents are welcome to visit the school. However, school visits are by appointment only so do call reception to confirm your appointment.

Matariki is a time of celebration, harvesting from our marakai and preparing a feast for the family gathering. From our summer harvest, we have kumara and pumpkin, so guess what is on the menu for Matariki in GTT? Yes, it’s pumpkin soup, baked kumara and our very popular Māori bread. Wishing all our MHP families a fantastic Matariki!
We have a budgie who looks a little injured, turn up at school at lunch time. If it belongs to you, please get in touch
We explored the beauty of Gagana Sāmoa through The Arts ACE! From traditional patterns and music to joyful dance and storytelling, our ākonga expressed their learning in creative and meaningful ways. Fa'afetai tele lava!

We dressed up for Jammies in June and collected PJs to donate to kids in need! We are on a mission to keep everyone warm this winter. Thank you to everyone who participated in the appeal ✨![]()

We marked Philippines Independence Day with pride and joy! It was a special moment for our Filipino ākonga to share their culture — with some children and teachers proudly wearing traditional clothing. Mabuhay!"
