Huanui College Competitors

Welcome to King's College! When Graham Bruce founded King's College in 1896, his stated aim was that the school would provide 'the best all-round education it is possible to obtain'. Over 100 years on, this statement still both guides and underpins all that we do. King's College aims to be the best it can be in every one of the College's programmes: academic, sporting, cultural, spiritual and social. We appreciate this is a lofty ambition, but it is one which has seen King's, throughout its history, preserve its enduring values whilst still being prepared to innovate, to ensure we remain at the forefront of education.

Founded in 1867, Wellington College is a progressive school for 21st-century boys (with a current roll of 1780) which values belonging and is connected to the past. We have a proud history of outstanding academic achievement and a record of national success in both sport and in the performing arts. The aspirations of Wellington College and its people are summarised through our COLL values. They provide a focus for our work as we serve others, develop leadership and care for each other as we learn together. The international student programme contributes to the diversity of our school community and generates additional funding for school projects and facilities on our beautiful, spacious city campus.

Mount Albert Grammar School is a state, co-educational secondary school situated in central suburban Auckland. Our current roll of about 3000 students come mainly from within the school’s zone, with a small number from wider Auckland accepted through the ballot process. Due to increasing demand for places at the school from within our zone, the number of ballot places is diminishing each year. The ratio of boys and girls is almost 50/50. Since Mount Albert Grammar’s foundation in 1922, the school has established a strong academic tradition. Our NCEA results are consistently strong, and the number of Scholarships attained by our elite academic students placed us among the top six schools in New Zealand. We are widely considered to also be among the top sporting schools in the country, with a history of winning numerous Auckland and New Zealand Championship titles. We offer a wide range of sports at all levels, from social to premier grades, for both boys and girls. All students are encouraged to take part in at least one sport, not only for the physical benefits but for the social and character-building aspects that sport provides for young people. At MAGS, sport is considered intrinsic in our overall culture of developing well-rounded young men and women who aspire to excellence in everything they do, and seek to serve others in the community. We believe our sporting culture feeds directly into our academic success. Our Arts programmes are also outstanding, and our Dance, Drama and Music students are regularly judged among the top in Auckland and New Zealand. We offer a variety of co-curricular groups in which students can become involved which, like sport, we believe is key to developing well-rounded young people. In addition to our superb grounds and sports fields, the school has fine historic and modern buildings, an Aquatic Centre, a library, an observatory and specialist areas for Technology, Art, Music, Drama and Dance.
