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.

The youngest members of MHP paid tribute to the ANZAC spirit through meaningful learning experiences. They baked cookies to share, created poppy art as a symbol of remembrance, and took part in a simple march, showing respect and gratitude for those who served. A huge welcome to our new entrant students and families and a big thank you to the Year 0/1 teachers for providing such rich learning opportunities. Ka Pai everyone!
In GTT the Year 2/3 students explored the art of making rosemary herbed bread from scratch. They learned how yeast works to help dough rise and discovered the importance of patience during the process. Students practiced kneading the dough—stretching, folding, and shaping it The aroma of fresh rosemary filled the room. This hands-on activity not only introduced basic baking skills but also encouraged teamwork, curiosity, and a love for creating food to share with others.
Wow, what an incredible evening that was! ![]()
MHP’s Bollywood and Chinese Ribbon Dance groups participated in the HPPA Cultural Festival last night. It was a celebration of talent and creativity, where diverse cultures came alive through movement and music on one stage. Our students performed beautifully and we would like to thank Mrs Dhawan and Mrs Wang for their dedication and hard work. 💐![]()
MHP is thrilled to be part of the HPPA that fosters appreciation for all, hence reminding us that while our cultures may differ, the language of dance is something we all understand.
Making savoury cheese scones in GTT was so much fun!![]()
First, we mixed the dry ingredients together and added grated cheese. Then we added milk to form a soft dough. Next, we gently kneaded the dough by pressing and folding it with our hands. Kneading helped bring the dough together and made it smooth. After that, we shaped the dough and placed it on the tray ready for baking. It was exciting to see how our dough changed and turned into tasty savoury cheese scones
Another great day at camp ![]()
