Nā te Tumuaki | Principal's Message

Manawatū College welcomes the opportunity to be involved in the education of your teenager.

Manawatū College is a co-educational, Year 9-13 secondary school located in Foxton, with a long history of educational success.  As a restorative school, relationships are at the centre of everything we do.

Students succeed together because Manawatū College works in partnership with whānau and the community to help our young people develop the knowledge, self esteem and attitudes needed to adapt to an increasingly changing world. We view learning as being enjoyable, challenging and meaningful so that all students are inspired to achieve goals and realise their potential during their time here at college.

This is expressed in our motto: “Ki tua i tōu kaha – Beyond Personal Best”.

Students are supported as we embed a culture of success by actively encouraging and celebrating academic, leadership, cultural and sporting achievement. We celebrate our diversity, seeing it as strength and as a powerful tool for educating the whole person and growing good citizens who celebrate life, accept differences and develop into active, independent and caring New Zealanders.

We are extremely proud of our school, and look forward to working with you.
