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.

Talofa lava from the MHP GTT. We are celebrating Samoan language this week and on the menu we have vegetable chop suey and coconut sago pudding. Our special guest Mr Francis is teaching us all about coconuts - “the tree of life”. We are scraping brown coconuts to make our own coconut milk from scratch.
